Janvier Chando...There is no greater dividing force in this world than self-interest...
About This Quote
While self-interest is a common phrase, it rarely gets used in the right context. It means something completely different than what you probably think it means. Here are two examples of where you’d be better off using this phrase. 1.
“That’s not in my self-interest,” versus “That’s not in my best interest.” 2. “Would you like to work on this project? It will take me two weeks of your time, but I think it will benefit us both,” versus “You could help me out with this project because I need someone who can help me out with this project.” The meaning of this phrase depends entirely on the context of the sentence in which it is used.
