essay on I Am Because We Are
Answers
Answer:
A couple of months back, when I was spending some time with our team in Argentina, it was wonderful to see a renewed sense of purpose, teamwork and cohesion in the team. The various team members talked about a company culture built on respect, trust, sharing, caring and empathy. When I discussed with Anand, our business head for the region and Hernan, our HR head there, about the transformation that they were enabling, they mentioned that they had been inspired by an African philosophy called Ubuntu.
Intrigued, I spent the last few weeks learning more about this remarkable philosophy. My colleagues and friends in Africa tell me that it is difficult to describe Ubuntu in words. The word, that has its origins in the Bantu languages of Southern Africa, means “humanity to others’ and can be loosely translated as ‘I am what I am because of who we all are’.
Across other African countries as well – “Obuntu” in Uganda and Tanzania, “Unhu” in Zimbabwe, the name differs slightly – but the concept remains much the same. And that is, no human being exists alone; we are all interconnected, and each of us derives meaning from the people that surround us. This simple idea captures a powerful philosophy—a way of life based on love, connection, humanity, unity and optimism.
As we pause at the start of a new year, to reflect, hope and plan, it’s worth taking the time to explore the Ubuntu way and what we can draw from it.
It’s possible, that at first, you might think Ubuntu is less relevant for the world we know today. The ideas of individualism and personal ambition are so deeply entrenched that a more collective approach may be unrealistic. Whether it is at our corporate workplaces or even with our families and communities, there seems to be a constant struggle between the ‘me’ and ‘us’. How do you choose? What do you prioritise? Is there a way to reconcile all of it?
But the beauty of Ubuntu is that it doesn’t ask you to choose. Instead, what it says is this—while it’s wonderful to have the freedom to pursue your personal goals and dreams, it’s also important to remember that no man or woman is an island.
