The Beauty of Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity

This artwork is quite amazing with many interpretations. I can relate it to the famous Nelson Mandela quote.' If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart. 

It also encourages the beauty of diversity in every environment.

Personal Development Bridges The Gap

Dunning Kruger effect is a concept that makes people overestimate their knowledge or ability, especially in areas they have little to no experience. When people feel they have no specialized skills they tend to overestimate their skills, 

and it makes them also unable to recognize these skills from others too.

'The very knowledge and skills necessary to be good at a task are the same qualities that a person needs to recognize that they are not good at that task. So if a person lacks those abilities, they remain not only bad at that task but ignorant to their inability'.

Despite the fact we all have a natural endowment in different specialization, the best way to succeed in dealing with underestimating or overestimating our abilities in a particular unfamiliar task is through continuous learning and personal development, liaise with experts in the field, challenging your knowledge, ask for feedback and never be afraid of asking for help and showing up.

Learn To Have The Courage To Speak Your Truth Quietly & Clearly, and Listen To Others.

Unequivocally it's ethically justifiable to have the courage to speak your truth. Ethics are moral principles that govern a person behavior. And Justification is the act of showing something to be right or reasonable. Sometimes some mechanisms are applicable right or wrong with the intentions of the greater good or greater outcome or for achieving overall good.

But when it comes to humanity more care needs to be taken to ensure principles of fairness, equality, tolerance, freedom of expression, more understanding, considerations of individual uniqueness, and differences. Before you make a judgment on someone please consider many things ask questions in most cases directly and use the power of observation.
some people said that the best way to know how someone feels or check someone's character is by proactively making them angry it will show fully who they are. But based on the principles of universal laws of ethics and morality that concept is ethically wrong in justification. when you intentionally keep upsetting a stranger who might be a good person or a bad person to ascertain their nature and to prove a point sooner everyone is pushed to anger. Especially people who don't know how to manage emotions or with low emotional intelligence. Some people are very often over-excited and too much of that is also not very good.
Virtue lies in the middle of everything, integrity is a currency you can use it to buy things. There is strength in being different. Some people see the glass half full. Others see it half empty. I see a glass that’s twice as big as it needs to be.

Be careful whom you are taking advice from because there is no diplomacy with lies. Apply the triple filter test to tell or speak your truth.

1.Filter for truth - make absolutely sure what you want to hear from someone is the truth!
2.Goodness Filter - Is what you are about to tell me about someone something good?
3. Usefulness Filter - Is what you want to tell me about someone going to be useful to me?

If what you want to discuss is neither true, nor good, nor even useful, why discussing it at all? There is no neutrality in crisis either agree or disagree conscientiously. Loyalty and Honesty are very expensive don't expect it from cheap people, be accountable for your life.!

Quality Education A Great Ally To Manage Your Circumstances


According to Dr. Condoleezza Rice, 'it does not matter where you came from but where you are going, one's status at birth was not a permanent station in life'. 
You might not be able to control your circumstances but you could control your response to your circumstances.

And your greatest ally in controlling your response to circumstances has been a quality education, self- esteem comes from achievement.
 
Don't measure your effort with others. 'Success isn't how far you have got, but the distance you traveled from where you started'.

If You Want Others To Be Happy, Practice Compassion. If You Want To Be Happy, Practice Compassion.-Dalai Lama

Nobility Originates from the Soul Not by Blood

Nobility they said "springs from the soul not by the blood."It is crystal clear that nobility comes from the type of person you are not who your parents are. Although,some people's attitude and pedigree is a true reflection of their parents character but however every human soul is a separate creation by God.What you are is a true reflection of how you are created. The way you behaves and think is a true reflection of your heart and soul. Not always what your parents or blood relatives are.

To be noble is a priceless gift, you don't have to be movers and shakers of the world to earn nobility. How you are is just the way you are, how you are is just how your heart is , The way you think and your orignal ideology is just the way you are, there might be blood influence in our lifes and behaviours but our soul and conscience directs our actions and decisions in life. listen to your inner conscience and that is just the way you are.

According to Adam Grant ' i'd love to live in a world where people spend as much time developing their characters as they do developing their careers'.
