The five pillars of success
By Donna J. Jodhan
I have thought long and hard about this and I guess that everyone would have a different list to offer. The word success could be used in so many ways to describe the achievement of a plethora of goals, objectives, and victories. I would like to offer mine as a “successful” blind professional woman who is deeply committed to advocacy, and to ensuring that the rights of blind and partially sighted kids of the future are recognized, legitimized, and protected.
So here is my list.
Pillar 1, commitment: To work tirelessly to achieve one’s dreams, objectives, and goals and to not give up no matter what. In good times and in bad times, my commitment will not waver.
Pillar 2, respect: To respect myself first and foremost, and then to respect the opinions and feelings of others.
Pillar 3, patience: To have patience for as long as I can with the opinions and short comings of others.
Pillar 4, compromise: To always look for a middle ground whenever conflict arises.
Pillar 5, accommodation: To always find ways to accommodate the opinions and suggestions of others.
I will add to other pillars to my list as follows.
Pillar 6, passion: To always approach our task with passion and mean what we do and do what we mean.
Pillar 7, compassion: To have compassion for our neighbor and the next person in our lives.
Just my two cents worth for today.
