I’ve read Coelho status yesterday, he said “what money can’t buy is much more important than what money can buy”… It remind me to one of my dad legacy “kalah bondo gak opo-opo sing penting gak kalah nomo”. And I want to write it again to remind me for this important paradigm.
Covey Jr in his book Speed of Trust also said the same thing… Trust is something that important in everyday life. we must focus to develop our character and competent to get trust from others. Character is our consistency to act with the true principles and competent is our ability to produce result. These two things is working together to give us bigger trust from others. You can be a very kind persons but if you cannot produce the best result people won’t trust you, you are not credible.. and vice versa..
Sometimes we distracted more to the things that money can buy… we forget that if you get trust the money will come by itself… it also in career, if we focus on position or on salary, it won’t improve but if we focus on our character, integrity, competent and our results, it will improve by itself…
So, just like what Coelho said, lets focus on the much more important things… to what money can’t buy…
