For example, would you easily got sick even just the thoughts of cheating, or tricking other people while you know that it's not right?
or, it can somewhat be flexed, depending on the situation?
particularly in the business world that my ISTP dad is trying to 'guide' me into,
last week he said something like this: "I know that you're not a stupid person. no. you're quite smart, I know that. but the thing is: sometimes you're way too honest. and in this current world nowadays, there's only a very thin line between honesty and stupidity. not especially when you want to do business!"
I was very uneasy, and I told him straight-away that "I've been like this since I was a small kid like in 4th grade or something, remember when I used to watch so much evil in TV and I was crying, feeling sad & frustrated, prayed a lot, and even made a long writings hopefully to publish it into a book so many people can read & got moved or something"
My dad got silent, but I don't know what he's thinking, he could probably think me as "naive" or something..
honestly, this is what makes me scared so much about the real working world.
especially here in my home country (Indonesia), where almost everything is soo business-oriented, money-oriented, and not only that, but the country is generally so corrupt in like 95% way of doing things!
I know that this thinking might be wrong, but sometimes I can't help but feeling like my dad is trying to show me a 'zone' that I know it would be such a 'dark zone' for me..
I seriously very often feels like "is this what really ahead of me? is this all going to be MY future, and no other way, if I want to get a quite paying job here in Indonesia?? is this all *real-working world* ever there is?? what about being a Teacher, a Priest, a Travel Agent, a Musician?? what....that IT'S ALL NOT PAYING WELL, BE REALISTIC ?????"
I don't know...but my heart now currently & surely tells me that it's probably better being poor & happy,
rather than being rich at the expense of cheating others, tricking other people's money, etc etc
I just don't know if I'll ever able to do all those things..
and then again,..I often got torn with that "honesty = stupidity" remark that my dad said, maybe it's true?
then how can I live in this ever-increasing ultra-competitive era/world today??
what about you guys?
what is your own personal experience, especially those of you who are not already in the so-called real working world?
(sigh...maybe that's why I love school much more than working. there's a sort of 'genuine, pure' in learning in school, as opposed to all the 'tricks, cheats, deceitful techniques' in the working world (especially in doing business).
Let's discuss & share.
