5 Stages of Life

Yesterday, there was a technology session at my workplace. There was a very interesting concept of tribal leadership that was shared during that session. In its true sense, the topic will be too bland for me to express here. So I am putting it down here with my own variation.

There are five different stages of life culture.

Stage 1: Life sucks—when you think, overall, life is cruel and unjust for everyone and there is nothing in it to cherish. The only thing that matters to you is your survival, either by hook or by crook. 

Stage 2: My Life Sucks—when you think it’s only your life that sucks, whereas for others, life is still great. It is only you who are the victim of all the injustice and unfairness happening around you. Nothing can happen right in your life. There are no passions and excitement left in your life. 

Stage 3: I’m great, you‘re not—when it’s all about you. You think you were born to be great, and you undermine others. You alone have all the rights, whereas the others don’t have any. A sense of pride, along with arrogance, creeps into your mind. 

Stage 4: We’re great; they’re not—when you are part of a certain group that collaborates together and has trust among its members. As a team, they look for their own best first before others. 

Stage 5: Life’s great—that’s when you work for the greater good. You strive to make the lives of people around you better regardless of any association. Your aim and passion are selfless.
