Story tellers rule the world in all its domains. The reason lies in the art of telling the story, no matter how simple or insignificant; and not the story per se. We see it in all segments of life
When every other factor squares up, it is passion that determines who has the edge. Indeed it makes you blend and be one with your dream. However, some do take it with a grain of salt.
One of the under-rated virtues, it is subject to more abuse than accolade. However, like most things in life, its value is to be felt, perceived, internalised, giving a sense of meaning and purpose to one's life. Go for it and feel the difference.
Everyone is not an altruist; however that does not disempower anybody from becoming one. It is about our inner conditioning and sincere intent behind the actions we do. Try and get into the mode; it is not too tall a task. Ultimately it is 'human calling'.
In todays world, it is evident we prioritise instant gratification and results, and subsequently, this sees individuals emphasising the rhetoric of ‘what’s in it for me?’, instead of ‘what is best for all?’ or ‘what is best for future generations?’.

The tendency to help another may be innate to humans, but some are more human than others.

We all react differently to problems. Some succumb, while others get excited. But why is a problem in most cases a 'problem' for most? Young minds attempt a clinical diagnosis of the problem.
All of us encounter problems; only some solve them faster than others. A special talent? Not really; it is all about a mindset they possess resulting in a skill they have mastered through repeated practise. A disciplined process is all it takes to become an effective and efficient problem solver.
