Forword

The trip….

"It was February 2017 when in the framework of the organization of an annual Workshop of MDRT, at the Museum of Natural History, in Athens we had organized a tour for our invited speakers at the Sacred Rock of the Acropolis.

I remember well that with the guide came the discussion about the abilities of the Greeks, their idiosyncrasies, culture and all those that our ancestors created in Ancient Greece.

I was proud that the virtues of the Greeks of that time were heard, but at the same time I saw our country today experiencing a great crisis "economic" but rather mainly a crisis of "values".

So, I took the opportunity to try to explain to the friends who attended in an atmosphere of taxation and good mood one of the basic feelings and features of our people.

That of "Philotimo".

More...

A word that Greeks feel more than they interpret. Although I am not the expert to interpret it as an etymology and while I will borrow a lot of data from sources, Philotimo has a feature that at least gives you the right to refer to it and describe it because you feel it is your "property", since you live with it every day.

Philotimo is "Emotion".

The consciousness of dignity itself! "

"Philotimo is an ancient Greek word. It is essential, and translates as "love of honor." However, philotimo is almost impossible to adequately translate, because it describes a complex web of virtues.

Virtues that we have and if we cultivate them will be our guarantees for a successful course in this noble profession that we have chosen! They are virtues that are mirrored and spring from within the human soul.

But our effort to cultivate needs to be enduring. So we will meet our real aspects and possibilities. Thus we will discover every corner of ourselves and the role it can offer through our profession to society and our fellow human beings.

This is Philotimo! "

Even More...

"Philotimo is therefore interpreted as a way of life in doing the right and honest even if your life is in danger. To work for the overall sense of duty with a view to doing the right thing.

It is honorable to live a good life.

It is your inner voice to stand up against egos, pettiness and revanchism.

Honor, Courage, Duty, Pride, Creativity, Compassion, Generosity, Integrity, Kindness, Faith, Consciousness, Humility, Dignity, Dignity, Respect, Honesty, Philanthropy are the hallmarks of Charity and Courage interpretations that are given, while it is very rightly said that whenever you say the word "Philotimo" to a Greek then you see that his gaze is sweetening.

It is honorable to think of those we would not like to be in their place.

The Apostle Paul mentions in his letter to the Romans, 14 '(15) 17-29 the word "I am honored" "Or .. preach the gospel of Christ. And so I dare to evangelize: not where the name of Christ was proclaimed, ”..” It also means Love and Luck but also includes the concept of bond and responsibility of interpersonal relationships. So having this as a guide, we can achieve great things by cultivating ourselves and offering work to our customers. "

Afterword

Dear readers, friends, insured, customers ......

That's the purpose of this book. To inspire you and remind you of the virtues you already have inside you and walk with them on the path of your life, whether you are Greek or not, and that through our profession you are so useful to society.
