Topic: Thought: how far can you go in a career without going against your principles (Read 242 times)

Educated people do not necessarily have the intelligence to be able to understand every task from their superiors so they do not have the opportunity to get a higher position.
Not everyone will do evil things to get to a higher position, there are still many honest people who uphold the principle of truth to be able to reach a higher position even though it can be said it is very rare, but in all aspects of life there will always be good and the evil one and the evil one can still have a high position because the one who gave the position is not aware of the evil nature and evil things he is doing.

Want to live a happy life? Start focusing on your own strategy and go for what you think is right. You can’t just follow the crowd, you can create your own and still be successful. Having that work is great, but don’t live with too much pressure from the crowd.

Here in this market, we have no boss here yet many becomes rich simply because of their dedication and commitment to learn things here, again it’s not what other think of you, it’s all about how you see yourself and how you work just to achieve your goal.

Does art imitate life, or does life imitate art?

Isn't the root of the economical issues we face world wide the fact wrong people are at the right places? Because once you have unscrupulous individuals calling the shorts in the world, you can expect there is going to be a lot of injustice, inequality, power abuse, greed, false promises, distrust, and many other factors which eventually lead to economical disbalance, being impossible to create a propitious environment for its healthy development.

The simple way to workout on this is: Be yourself and let others follow you! There is no harm in following your own principles and you can go beyond the skies with yourselves. Never believe in movies, sometimes they are the one whose rooting bad ideas on our minds and we start to relate that in real world due to unconscious thoughts and surroundings.

Your principles, if you have set them properly then write this down other peeps will follow you and try to mimic the success in their lives. Never forget how big personalities formed around us, they were enthusiastic about their work, shown at most dedications and went against the world.

I have seen people who reached insane amount of wealth, I guess tens of millions of dollars, and none of them really "sold their soul to devil" type of deal.

I mean sure there are situations like that, for example I got an offer to do something bad, not illegal, just unethical, and I refused it, and I am sure someone else must have accepted it and the offer was super high, let me put it this way; the offer was in 2014, and it offered me more money than I am making right now in 2022. Think of how much it was, it was nearly one car worth of money per month and I still declined. So, yes there are offers like that out there if you want to, but there are legit ways too.

I think it's better that way since working on something while your guilt and conscience is killing you inside is a torture. I've seen some people doing like that although they know what they were doing but they still proceed to do it anyway out of self respect but they needed the money. They chose to eat their own pride while working and can't blame them but that's how life it's not that easy and everyone is trying to make a living.

If one could find a better job with their principle's isn't bothered I think we won't be fighting everyday to make a living.

In my experience, following a career path entails one to forgo a previous way of thinking, behaving, dressing, carriage, and even language and signs to learn by indoctrination or orientation a new set of codes. These new codes would recommend one to of course sacrifice one's principles, most times beliefs inclusive to fully gain what such a career promises.
It takes a resilient personality strongly rooted before such a person can not only maneuver but absorb and filter what is important or not. No one actually tells anyone how to behave at work. One doesn't just assumes and respond unnecessarily. Intelligence, ability to be able to carry out instructions and fulfil tasks, also great communication skill no matter if one is an introvert or extrovert.

It came to my mind that a possibility could be that it's not important how literate, rightful, honest, prepared you are, rather the important is if you are able to sacrifice your morale principles, and beliefs to follow and fulfill the orders, desires, and interests of others who can potentially boost your career upside, or simply to avoid having them as enemies, rivals who could sabotage you somehow.

Personally, I won't sacrifice my own principles in exchange for any position or wealth because for me, real success is living a contented and happy life without the need of pleasing others. What's the sense of having a good career and wealthy life if you are not happy because you're having it against your will? As for me, you don't have to please reach their standards of success as long as you have your principles with you and you're not harming anyone.

We live in a world which glamorizes and praises people who reach at working positions considered top tier, consequently bringing high status and guaranting large financial returns. At school, on the media, during friendly or familiar discussions and everywhere else that is the ideal concept of success for our society, as common sense.

But what is the price to be paid to reach in such positions? i don't talk about the effort of educating yourself to be qualified to reach a position like that. Even because there are many educated and smart people who aren't at key positions on their local societies. Quite the opposite, they live on the edges of society, despite the fact they are educationally qualified and decent people.

It came to my mind that a possibility could be that it's not important how literate, rightful, honest, prepared you are, rather the important is if you are able to sacrifice your own morale principles, beliefs in order to follow and fulfill the orders, desires and interests of others who can potentially boost your career upside, or simply to avoid having them as enemies, rivals who could sabotage you somehow.

Some movies and stories show us that, illustrating the idea as people had to sell their souls to the devil in order to be rewarded with wealth, power and reputation in life.
