It is more blessed to give than to receive
This week’s quote is from Acts 20:35:
- I have shown you in every way by laboring like this, that you must support the weak.
And remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, that
He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’.
What it means to me:
One of the keys to Career Intensity is creating value. This bible quote is about giving. There are a number of ways to give at work. One of the best ways to create value is to give of oneself and help others fulfill their potential. Here are some ways to help others fulfill their potential at work:
- Teach a course in your area of expertise.
- Mentor someone who is inexperienced.
- Show a brand new employee the nuances of your work environment.
- Make a list of things that everyone should know about working in your office. Share that list with people with everyone else.
If the pure joy of helping others is not enough to motivate you, remember that the best way to get what you want is to help others get what they want.
