The Courage to Succeed: A True American Dream. -Book Series, Chapter 10

 




Chapter 10

“The struggle of life is one of our greatest blessings. It makes us patient, sensitive, and Godlike. It teaches us that although the world is a whole of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. -Helen Keller

The struggles

Would you believe me if I told you that I’ve faced bullying more than once in my life? The first time was in second grade when a fellow student, for reasons I’ll never understand, tried to throw me off the balcony. It was a terrifying experience, but my mother didn’t hesitate; she immediately transferred me to a different school. I was so grateful for her quick decision, knowing she potentially saved me from becoming another tragic statistic. My mom wasn’t one to play around with when it came to protecting me, and I applaud her.

Years later, I encountered another bully while working as a receptionist. A girl in the office seemed to enjoy embarrassing me in front of others. However, that situation didn’t last long because I didn’t let it define me. I moved ahead in my career, while she probably remained stuck in the same place. The point is I inherited my mother’s generous heart, and I strive to live by her example. But I’ve noticed that people often mistake my kindness for weakness. They don’t realize that kindness is a strength I carry with me in all my interactions.

Experiencing bully in the workplace should not be as common as it. Having the strength to get up and move past these experiences as you build your career is important. Don’t lose the lessons of the past. Let them make you a great leader.
