I've been away from blogging for close to 3 weeks primarily for some unforeseen circumstances. But, while I'm away, I do realize something that I just feel like writing here. It's more towards appreciating the value of things around me such as family, friends, mentors and business partners.
How do people define value in relationships between people? It's very subjective open ended question. But still , it's this hidden values that keeps the foundations of this relations firm and steady. Similarly, why do people keep patronizing Mcdonalds? Maybe simply because this franchise giant keep focusing on value added meals? :)
What is value from my perspective? It's simply the benefits that you can get/give. It is true that each and everyone actually expects something consciously or unconsciously from a friendship, relationship or partnership. A need .Let it be seeking comfort , interest, emotional support ,guidance , personal development , money, etc.
But there is an old saying is give more and the more you shall receive. I also read this quote from one of Robert Kiyosaki best selling books. To receive more value , you must first be willing to provide more value to others. Willingness for free is a very uncommon commodity this days? Mostly, 10 seconds before providing value to others , there is the voice from the little man dressed like an accountant down below yelling " what's in it for me?"
Great value providers attract more people. In return they receive greater values as well. It maybe as small as providing simple day to day knowledge and support can create great values in friendships and relations. When the value is appreciated and bring benefits to both party/ win-win, this will create long lasting relations between people and organizations. So what do you think? Maybe you can share one and create a value here.
