[How to 做人 series] What's Your Bottom Line?

Posted by Mr.Keropok

Definition of Bottom Line (from http://www.dictionary.com/):
1. The final result or statement.
2. The main or essential point.
3. The decisive point.

Everyone of us function with a bottom line in life. Whether is it towards people or matters of life. It has got something to do with how we are wired up in our minds towards a particular subject incident.

For example:

1. Even though all my friends smoke, play truant and copy during examinations, the bottom line is that I will never be like them.

2. The truth is that life really sucks. But the bottom line is that I will never eat worms nor give up!

3. Despite all the rumours flying around now saying that Peter is a gossip monger, the bottom line is that I still trust him.


In the first hit wave of crisis, do we immediately shatter and start doubting everything around us? Do we give up, turn doubtful easily whenever things don't go the way we expected it to? Do we not have that sense of resiliency to persevere through or work through to resolve the matter?

Down to the fundamental... What's Your Bottom Line?
