The word "commitment" confuses us from time to time...
Case 1: Say you work only twice a week compared to someone who works 5 days a week... Who's more committed? Does it actually base on the working hours? Or does it still falls back into the "how productive your work is" principle?
Case 2: Say the time you spent with your spouse/ partner is short, and that's because you are busy earning money for a living compared to because you find some difficulties in your relationship and chose to hide-away from it just to make sure you both stay together forever?
Different people has different definitions of each particular word, what helps them to link a word and its definitions is a picture that they form in their mind which they learnt or saw throughout their lifes. And that's when different people has different priorities in life, it may be cash, food, education etc. Thus, before labelling someone as selfish, make sure you know them well enough before letting out your words, for words that comes out from a human's tongue is like a dagger stabbed through the person's heart. And you can never mend it back, the scar has formed.
What I've learnt from my NLP for dummies is that we can't judge someone from part of his/her actions. People are much more than their behaviour- Behaving "badly" doesn't make a person a bad person. It's essential to separate the behaviour from the person. It may be a person finds himself/ herself in an environment that stops them from being the best they can be. So by helping someone develop capabilities and skills or to move to a more conducive environment can often change someone's behaviour dramatically and propel them to new levels of excellence.
Back to the word "commitment", have u got the answers?
