Selfish is a word negatively perceived. But like it or not, we are all selfish in one way or another, as long as it does not hurt others. This presentation was a presentation to a group of youth leaders, encouraging them to be selfish to their inner drive and motivations. Debatable? Maybe. True? Definitely.

Editor's Notes
- the paradox of being selfish is always about being selfish will make others unhappy/make others feel hurt, but it was neevr mention that being selfish would enable us to do greater things in life. we all know, everything in the world needs the be balanced, like the yin and yang. we know too much money does not equeals to happiness, too much happiness does not means it's good. so why cant we make use of selfishness?
- be selfish maslow hierarchy of needs 1. if you dont love yourself, who will? if you are not confidence with yourself, who will? success begins with first being able to imagine. 2. selfish means creating opportunities for yourself. job hop is ok if you are creating and developing yourself, but it is not ok if you are job hopping simply because it seems interesting. 3. the world does not owe you anything, but your existence in the world owes the world a lot. hence, you need to start to be more selfish to develop yoruself and go out there and make world a better place. that is your role! 4. happiness is a choice and a habit. you can always choose to always satisfy others, or you can always choose to satisfy yourself first and then create stronger impact on others. Happiness begins with helping yourself first so that you are capable of helping others.
- 1. if you dont love yourself no one’s gonna love you. if you dont think you are good, no one will think so. in life, people tell you what you can and cannot do, and more often than not, what they said makes you who you are because you choose to act that way. not many of us are selfish enough to think for ourselves and to think that whatever they said are not true, only what you said is true.
- start to love yourself, start to act to love yourself and appreciate yourself more. im not asking you to not care about others out there, i just asked you to care more about yourself and do more for yourself. there is a difference between caring for yourself more and not caring for others :)
- be selfish, think that you are great, and that is the beginning of greatness. Greatness and succes sbegins with being able to imagine your greatness and success. how much do you imagine you being able to do something better than others? how much did you imagine you standing up on stage and imagining how well you will do compared ot others?
- my lc got disbanded when i was in LC HELP, most members have no idea what to do, including me. but i decided to just take a chance, and do something anything and there you go, 3.5 years, i became MCP. surround yourself with like minded/great people.
- being selfish allows you to get lost and do something totally out of the blue just like how you get lost and there is nothing wrong with that. we are always fixated by the fact that we must always do something right (again, because of the perception from the society/social) but not many of us are selfish to do something that we have always wanted to. starting my own company with my own savings, im afraid, im scared, but what is there to lose really? i use this opportunity to learn/to challenge myself and to do something different.
- being selfish allows you to be curious and to explore whats out there. India 2008 exprience CURIOSITY KILLS THE CAT, BUT THE SATISFACTION BRINGS THE CAT BACK ALIVE.
- BE SELFISH, THINK OF WHAT YOU WANT TO BE AND CREATE THAT YOU i know what i want, I know what i need to do to be the person i want to be. that is why i applied mcvp and mcp because i know how much being in that positon would allow me to grow and give me chance for my career. why MCP?
- happiness is a choice, you have the right to choose to be happy or not. you cant reach happiness unless you decided to be happy. You always have the choice
- the power that you have to satisfy others is greater when you yourself are satisfied or when you are happy with who you are. it is true that we need to give, but you need to be capable to give before giving. we all know how it feels to give and not getting something back, but if you are already happy, you can and will give without expecting something back :)
