The Art of Serving I

Serving, what is it exactly?
In my opinion, serving is when you go down, put aside your own interest, and put others’ interest first. Here are some benchmarks to know whether you’re really served or you’re just contributing:
  1. When you really serve, you don’t care about who’s getting the credit
  2. When you really serve, you don’t give the mediocre value, you bring the best of you. You bring excellence into it.
  3. When you really serve, you are not complaining and boasting about what you gave/sacrificed.
  4. When you really serve, you stop counting the things that you gave.
  5. When you really serve, you’re still doing it well and excellent while nobody even looks at it.
  6. When you really serve(at church), you only look to the One you serve, not the credit, the glory, the honor, and what people think about your service.
Our job and workplace is also the place to serve, not just to work. The way to become a great leader is become a great servant. The way up is down. Remember, we can only become a great leader, if we successfully had become a great follower. Happy serving !
