Two men left the office at 6 PM. Only one of them was selfish.
Self-interest vs selfishness comes down to one question: who paid for it? David finished his work and left for his daughter's school play, and still felt guilty. Mark dumped his unfinished report on a new hire and felt nothing.
Self-interest: you pay for your own choice.
Selfishness: you make someone else pay.
And disappointment is not damage.
Next time guilt shows up when you leave on time, ask one question: did anyone actually pay for my choice?
Know someone who feels guilty leaving on time? Forward this to them.
