Introduction

“Who am I”, one’s mind always once in his life come across

this question.

The answer he choose makes him either a contributor or a

non-contributor

Contributors and Non-Contributors define themselves very

differently

Contributors choose the dynamic identity while the non-

contributors choose the static identity.

5

What is Identity

• Identity is a term which needs to be defined properly.

• Identity does not mean Name, Family Name, Father’s name, your

achievements, your qualifications etc. though this too is known as

a type of identity, it is not a true Contributors identity.

• A Contributors Identity is their vision, their potential to contribute,

their urge to contribute and their eagerness to take responsibilities.

• A true contributor is identified by such values.

Non-contributors usually define themselves in terms of :

what they have acquired in life (e.g. qualifications, position,

years of experience, etc.). This is a static identity, based on

your past glories or past failures. This static identity leaves

you trapped in history

they will become or accomplish (e.g. capacity to
