I was once returning from a trip with a group of friends, nested in two cars.
We had to reach the railway station in some time, however, the other group decided to stop their taxi at a nearby restaurant, even though we apparently didn’t have time.
Instead of checking Google for updates, I asked one of the friends in that taxi, “What happened? Won’t we get late?”
This friend, who hails from the best colleges and worked at one of the most competitive companies on the planet, replied rudely “Just google. You will know.”
It was rude. Arrogant. IDGAF. And honestly, not kind.
Truth be told, this was not the first time he was doing it.
I, of course, checked Google. But it made me understand one thing – that going to the best colleges and companies don’t guarantee to make you a good person.
Being a good person is a choice. A choice that you make every single day. Through working on yourself. Or choosing to believe everyone else is a loser because you got to associate with the best pedigree.
Best pedigree and degree do not make up for kindness.
Kindness often makes up for the best of best of all pedigrees and degrees.
