The Greatest Profession

by allinspiration.com

The working world is all about qualifications and experience. To gain employment, it is necessary to meet the required educational level, or at least have sufficient experience. There is virtually no way an employer would hire someone who is inexperienced and uneducated for a high profile position. 

Everywhere else in life, the two elements are essential qualities. We entrust our stocks to our brokers, our cars to our mechanics, our pipes and taps to our plumbers, our children to schools and teachers, our spiritual development to our religious leaders, our lives to our doctors, only if we know and believe that they are up to the job. And how do we know? Only based on their paper qualifications and/or relevant experience.

Now imagine an advertisement that goes:

No qualifications necessary.
No experience needed.
Working hours totally flexible.
Rewards - vast and unlimited.


What job could that be? It is something happening or should be happening in our every day lives. The job of loving our fellow human beings, of caring for every single one of them, of sharing with every single one of them. The job of touching the lives of every single person we meet, whether in a large way or just a small way, regardless of whether they speak the same language or possess the same skin colour.

It is the world's most important job, one where every one of us is responsible for, yet most of us are so caught up with other things we forget about it. It is a great, beautiful and noble profession, yet it is something every single human being is capable of. You don't need years of working experience, nor do you need to go to school or get stackfuls of paper qualifications. You just need a willing heart.

Within every single one of us lies the power. The power to champion humanity and the human spirit. It is only up to us to use it.
