When someone enters a corporation, he may say, "One day I will be the CEO of this company." While it is not bad to have such a dream, it may be questionable on how he intends to get there. He may try to get to his goal by compromising his values. He might do it "by hook or by crook," as the cliche goes.
One should then not desire for position, but strive for the qualities that will build his character. Being a CEO one day, will just be a consequence of the strength of one's character that matches the requirements of the job. One may ask, "what are the ideal qualities of a CEO?" And upon those qualities shall one work his best to acquire.
"Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left. Mark 10:37 "
In the passage, James and John asked to be seated at the left and right side of Jesus. This implied asking for a position. But Jesus pointed out the qualities of what they are asking, which is the quality of servanthood. "But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; Mark 10:43."
Let us therefore strive on building our character and not on the position.
