Unit 1:
Who is a Contributor?
… Values
+ Effectiveness
What is
Personality?
In order
to find out a contributor, we need to concentrate on certain important traits
of personality. There are certain important characteristics that we can look
into to understand the concept of Contributor.
-
Magnetism, irrespective of other
characteristics.
-
Taking the responsibility of one’s
activities, even if they are utter failures.
-
To understand the major ideas expressed by
the great thinkers, philosophers, activists, scientists, etc.
-
To understand their personal life and
compare it with the ideas they have expressed.
According
to Vivekanand, the ideal of education is to develop the inner being of
man-kind, but we are concentrating more on the outer-image of a person.
“Each one
can grow and strengthen his personality. This is one of the great practical
things, and this is the householder, in the life of the poor, the rich, the man
of business, the spiritual man, in every one’s life, it is a great thing, the
strengthening of this personality…” –Vivekanand “The Powers of the Mind”
Concept
Exploration
In their
work, contributors demonstrate concern for the human beings they serve.
Contributors
go all out to try and find an answer. They take responsibility for ‘making things
happen’ in any situation.
Contributors
have a wider view of their work and thus
they take pride in doing their work well.
The
contributor’s focus is on achieving the larger goals of the team, rather
than focusing only on his/her own personal success.
