Helping Others

In this 'dog-eat-dog' world, it's pretty normal for some people not wanting to help others even if they are their own friends. I guess that's what competitiveness and kiasu-ism does to a person. Although I guess it's pretty normal for some people to be selfish but I personally cannot do that. I feel that we're all in this world together and we should all help each other out. I mean if I were to see someone in need of help, I can't just stand around not doing anything. I do have a guilty bone in my body. But if I feel that the person does not deserve my help then it's a totally different matter. I will not help people who do not help themselves.

Helping others gives me a sense of satisfaction in life. Although I may not know everything, but as long as I did my best and helped out as much as I can, I feel contented with my actions. Thankfully I have friends who are really helpful too like Tin Yoong who is always ready to help if I have any inquiries. The same goes to my seniors in EY who are always ready to lend a helping hand. Due to the selflessness of the people around me, I have always tried to help others in need. I've always tried my best to help the newcomers in my department because I know how difficult it is to be accustomed to the life in EY, especially petty things like taking their stationary, getting laptops, logging into the system and others.

I don't understand why some people find it so difficult to depart with their knowledge. I mean so what if you help others with some things they don't understand? Like maybe if someone has some problems with maths, what's wrong with helping them gain a better understanding eventhough they are your classmates? Worried you won't get the best results in your class? All these are small matters man. The satisfaction and contentment in helping others is worth more than that of getting better results. I mean I could always refuse to help my new colleagues learn what we are supposed to do on engagements. I prefer if I explain to them what exactly is needed from us. I could always say "KIASU LAH! What if they get promotion ahead of me?!?!" but I refuse to be so selfish. I really feel glad when they tell me they have a better understanding of the job scope.
