By Junaid Tahir A friend of mine is CEO of a medium size company, he says that in order to have deep understanding of the work at all levels of the company he tries to work in all domains in the company. This gives him insight of the tasks being done, associated complications, challenges and wisdom to resolve issues and optimize processes. He was telling that the job of their receptionist is tough as it involves a lot of patience. Some weeks back he sat at the reception and received the calls from their clients. Assuming that their call is being attended by the receptionist the customers talked as if they were talking to their servant. They were using harsh, rude or indecent words because of the faults related to the company products. However as soon as he introduced that he is the CEO of the company, the tone of the caller changed immediately.
While I listened to this
story, I pondered that we all do the same thing in life. Our speaking
tone is based on the social, professional or economical status of the
person we are talking to. Which simply means that we don't treat people
fairly and equally. We have a different way of communication for
different people.
This reminds me of another
story: Once a protocol officer asked a lady on how she would greet the
Queen of Holland when the Queen visits their city; she said that she has
only one set of manner and she uses it all the time and does not want
to learn a special protocol to meet and greet the Queen.
So the bottom line is that we should have one set of ethical
manners for all. We should be kind, humble and loving equally
regardless of the social and educational background, regardless of the
current economical and professional post. Humanity deserves equality and
all of us should endeavor for the same.
I wrote a similar article earlier about judging people fairly.
I believe that if we avoid being judgmental, we will start behaving
fairly with all people. Remember, Judging people is the theoretical
thing and won't make an external effect until you start showing this to
others by treating them unfairly. That means Judging is more of an
observatory and thought process
stuff whereas treating people is the behavioral and practical thing.
Judging wrongly pollutes your brain and treating wrongly pollutes the
society hence both should be avoided.
So treat the rich and the
poor, the attractive and the unattractive, educated, non-educated and
less educated all the same, because each one is the creation of God
Himself. Each soul requires fairness. How you treat them, is a reflection of what kind of a person you are !
