CONFLICTING OPINION ABOUT “SELFISH”

In my opinion

I wish to divert your mindset and share this conflicting opinion on “Thinking Selfishly”;

• IF you can’t change others, then change yourself first.
• IF you want to make a “Change”, you got to change the way “You” used to think first.
• IF you can’t “Change” the world, let the world change you.
• IF you can’t help anybody, the best thing you can do is to help yourself first.
• IF you can’t think for anybody, the only thing you can do is to think for yourself first.
• IF “they” can’t be help, it’s not your choice but your choice to make a difference.
• IF “Iban” can’t be help, then help the other Dayak ethnics; Bidayuh and/or Orang Ulu; they are Dayaks too.
• IF you can’t help all the “Ibans”, just help the little “Ibans” in your family.
• IF you can’t feed the village of “Ibans”, just feed yourself and your family first.
• IF you can’t survive working with anyone then just do your own business.
• IF you want to be responsible, take responsibility for your life from this point onwards.
• IF you can’t fight “them” then just join “them”. Life is too precious to waste.

As “Atas Pagar” my thoughts are free to go anywhere, but it’s surprising how often they head in your direction.

At one point, I feel it is easier to give direction to animals than Man simply because animals are not “selfish minded” creatures.

People tell you all the times not to be selfish. But in order to succeed in life you have to be selfish at times.

IF a person wants to succeed they have to look out for themselves and what’s in their best interest to succeed.

IF people are not selfish, they often let people hold them back from the things that they need to do in order to accomplish something. So why not be selfish if you’re trying to do something positive with your life?

To be selfish simply means that you are looking out for your own interest or your own life and/or your own choice to achieve your personal goals. With that in mind, everything you do to live can be considered selfish.

• When you eat you are supporting your life, is that selfish?
  
• When you are happy of your accomplishments and take pride in your character, is that selfish?
• When you use your mind to do things in pursuit of your own happiness, is that selfish?
• What exactly makes selfish a good or bad thing?

IF you are not selfish in the first place, you will never get the things done that are most important to you. People have to understand that they are the most important thing in their life.

IF they are not in tune with themselves, how do they really expect to help others?

It is good to be selfish sometimes because it is an overall good and understandable goal to look out for one’s self.

It’s also a good thing to be self-dependent or self-determination or self-reliance, and proud of the achievements that you have accomplished.

It is only natural that people act in a manner that is positive for themselves. In life before you could help others, you have to fix yourself first.

How can a person honestly say they don’t care about how something will impact them and their life? That’s right there is an act of selfishness.

That kind of selfishness is not the same as being stingy and not helping others. But in order to help others, you have to help yourself first.

There is nothing really wrong with being selfish at times. Selfish will never be a bad thing is you follow a couple of rules.

When acting in a selfish manner to succeed, you cannot violate the rights of others in order to accomplish your own goals.

You cannot represent yourself as something you are not because that is misleading people and misleading yourself.

Finally, you must do your absolute best to continuously think at all times while making sure that your actions bring you nothing but encouraging outcomes.

My apology, it’s my personal opinion. Thank you.

HELP YOURSELF SELFISHLY FIRST, THAT WAY YOU HAVE MORE CAPACITY TO HELP OTHERS!
