I have written this post sometime at the beginning of this year, on 23rd January. In the inconsistent journey and trying of looking and changing of self I was reading a book by Robin Sharma titled “The 5AM CLUB”. Yes, I did decide to wake up at 5AM on reading the book but woke up waking up at 6:15 AM the next day. Even later the following days. In the “To Do Lists” of mine you will always find that I want to write something, an article or anything. This writing yearning is the only consistent list in my inconsistent habits and days. Following are what I jotted that day. I am writing this here for my electronic storage.
Title: Being Desuup
Before being anyone: Be human. But, if you want to be a Desuup before being human, I approve you be the Desuup. I tried reciting the honor code of Desuup. Even wrote it down (My dzongkha handwriting is awful). It has been quite sometime, to be exact, about two years now since the last time I recited the honor code. This is more shameful than embarrassing, however, I am writing this down. With all the my energy and dedication I took this vow about four years ago (2017) with fellow dessups. I had memorized it during the 35 days training period, but, this has almost rusted in my memory over the years.
That is what I wrote that day. But to keep myself on track again, I am writing down the core values of Desuung.
- Integrity
- Service
- Self Discipline
- Commitment
- Accountability and Responsibility
- Ethics
- Respect
I know I am lacking in most of the areas of what I should be doing as Desuup, but deep down in the heart of my hearts I know with 101% surety that being a Dessup is also being a good human being.
P.S: Immense thanks to our Desuup mates who could be of service to the nation at the times of need.
