The Idea of Being Earnest!
By Abhishek Haridasan
In a world that’s cut-throat, is there space for earnestness? Will those with a sincere attitude and the ability to move mountains be considered supportive beings?
The idea of being earnest isn’t a new concept, yet one can be assured it’s something that no one considers worthwhile in the current world.
However, some people stand by honesty, integrity and the belief in humanity. Some people know that taking the high and moral path, despite jeering and hooting. They are born or instilled at a young age, with the idea of being simple, supportive and by the side of everyone who needs support.
The idea of being earnest is taught in schools and educational institutions, yet the media is filled with news about those who pulled a fast one and caught another by the scruff of the neck to win over the other. One begs to ask the question, when did earnestness be defenestrated?
If one gives it a thought, the realization happens about earnest behaviour. It is the pivot for a subtle life that blends with the positive mindset of everyone. It can be shoved into the sidelines at times; however, when reality hits, good behaviour, pristine morals and thinking about the greater good make everyone believe – that nothing is impossible for anyone, yet compromising on values is a no-no.
Building a reputation takes ages, and when combined with earnestness can help millions of live scale new peaks. Stay humble, be earnest and do extraordinary things!
