Marlo Thomas’ father said there were two kinds of people in the world; givers and takers. The takers may eat better but givers sleeps better. In Alms scale, there are two types of relationships, they are symbiosis and parasitic. Takers behaves in parasitic manner in everyday dealings with people around them, of course, they cannot exist without someone willing to give and are comfortable receiving more than they ever let go out of themselves. While people resent this category of people, they thrive and succeed in large organisation because their acts often go unnoticed. They take as much as they can and proceed to the top, their motto is “Me, I and Myself”. Unfortunately, they seldsome get to organisation pinnacle due to perceived self-interest. Takers will stop at nothing when it comes to using people to achieve their career success and usually employ win-lose approach throughout their career life. Stop being a taker if you want to excel in small and medium organization, their high demand versus least supply curve becomes very conspicuous over time and they gradually turn into less attractive individual within an organization, especially small and medium ones.
There is another category of people that spends a big chunk amount of time trying to strike balance between giving and taking, they are “matchers.” This set of people expect or demand from others as much as they give, matchers are mid-fielders and are popularly referred to as Mr./Mrs. Nothing-Goes-For-Nothing. Realistically, many of us are trapped in this class, they hate to watch people take without giving and vice versa. You may think this people will be most successful, but thorough research shows that they are not.
Giving goes beyond philanthropic acts, it is often about you having benevolent mind and hands. Givers are always ready to mentor people to success, drag them along success pyramid, they share their knowledge with people and often look forward to providing solutions to problems without expecting a thing in return. They are selly and naturally solutionist in their habitat. Reckless givers releases so much energy into being benefactor and get distracted in what they do, this makes them get exhausted faster. They thrive well in small and medium business environment because of their ability to lead down and below leadership tower, they are cherished by organisation leaders because of exhibition of selfless acts.
Only careful givers become most successful in large business organisation, making it priority to help yourself in your career before extending alms to others is the secret to becoming successful giver. All winners may not be givers, but all smart givers will win. No matters how it is, keep giving and continue to stretch helping hands to people. While it is good to be a giver, it is better to be a smarter giver. Cheers!
