Honour in Service

Honour in Service Every institution and office wants good workers, because without competent people, no workplace can function effectively. No one is an enemy of their own interests, which is why no one can afford to ignore a good worker. Good, dependable workers are generally in demand. If you fulfill the needs of others, you will be sought out by them. This world runs on the principle of give and take. Here no value is placed on grievances, protests and demands. The simple rule practiced in this world is that of giving and receiving in equal measure. If you want employment, you must make yourself useful. You must develop the skills that others genuinely need. Then, you will have no complaints against them—and they will have none against you. In time, you will realize that you do not need to chase employment. Employment will begin to chase you. Whenever you want a place in this world and others aren’t willing to give it to you, don’t blame them. Instead, recognize that there’s a flaw inside you that makes you unappealing to others. Then, focus on fixing that flaw. Afterward, you won’t have any complaints about others. HONOUR IN SERVICE On January 1, 1997, I met Mr. Mohammad Minhaj Akhtar, M.A. (born 1979), from Patna.
