if feeling important means not to be vain,that’s good.because if you are in a high positon,the people of the lower classes put you there after all!but if you use that power to make things right,that should make you important as a human being because it brings satisfaction.nonetheless everyone is important in life,whatever the job,whichever the position because we are a link.
LeBron James should read this one!
Overall in being humble we are all important to each other through our everyday interactions and kindness, but as Mother Teresa pointed out – we are here for a short time; we do our bit and then move on. We can all try to make our “bit” a good one.
If you feel important, that means you are setting for yourself unncessary limits and boundaries. Life is a journey not a destination, You must enjoy what you are doing and do what you are enjoying.
Thanks everyone… The winner of the Book of Quotes is Al. A very timely point!
