Hide your strength (Job Series):29

 

(Photo source:pexels.com)  

This philosophy is followed in many cultures. People like to help a weak person. In films, an underdog always gets support. So, people think that it is their moral duty to help and uplift the weak & needy.

Once you attain some strength or fame, the attitude changes. They start to see you as a competitor. The help and soft corner vanish. It is a universal phenomenon. Therefore, it is very important to hide one's strength and portray oneself as the underdog to keep the fire burning for a long time. Many business communities of India follow it by heart, and they have progressed a lot. Once, I saw a businessman in a CA office. He seemed to be an underpaid employee of some private organisation. When he started talking about his balance sheet, my head started spinning.

Many a time, they project such a way to ward off attention from the unwanted people who always tend to milk them in various innovative ways. Besides, it helps them to maintain a smoke screen that they are barely making it through that business. Otherwise, hundreds of people come rushing to do the same business once they see someone exceptionally successful. So, they keep themselves out of the prying eyes, and there is no competition at all.

Coming back to job life as a new employee, one should keep on working quietly without much hype. If people see your success, they start putting hurdles in the way. So, why do you need to bring attention to yourself? When the time comes, one should come out as Chinese bamboo, which is unstoppable.
