If I always minded my own business...I would not be of any help to anyone.
Have you ever seen someone struggling to reach something and offered to help?
You could have walked on and minded you own business. But instead, you stop and help.
How about when someone in a wheel chair can not get to something?
Should I mind my own business and walk on? Or should I stop and help?
Or how about when I see a child crying in public and no parent there? Should I just mind my own business and stop and see if I can help the child find his or her mom?
Even right in front of my house not too long ago a child was riding his bike and I was getting out of my car heading inside with my own children. Well, this child hit the pavement pretty hard and scraped himself up. Of course I am not going to turn my head and walk away minding my own business...I helped him and walked him and his bike home.
So...see...there are times that we should not mind our own business. :)
But that is probably not what you meant...huh?

Of course I never meant that.You know that.I hate selfishness.
When I have lost money in a particular share and so down a person should not come and tell me ."You should not have bought it"He should mind his own business.
When I have decided to goto s certain place for vacation one should not come and tell me,"there are better places."He should mind his business.
One should not come to me and brag that his daughter's school is better than the school of mine.
The list is endless.Volunteering to help the needy is definitely not one among them.

I am glad that we agree on this. :)
And there are many forms of minding our business. It is up to each person to judge the proper way to handle different situations.
But I agree with you even more that one should not brag about the one child compared to another's. They SHOULD mind their own business on that!

A person's business rslates to his achievement. Business of not will affect the whole life of a men smoothly. So I believe that everybody would pay attention to own business very much. Compete the vehemence now particularly. Everyone all at work with all strength.

yes i do..i never enter into conversation of others unnecessarily.Only when iam asked to interact i provide my suggestion and advise.
Actually i was brought up by my parents not to peep into others matter.I know this may not be liked by all and i consider it as privacy.

I always like to mind my own business and that is my priority in my life. Unless they press "help" button at their heart direct to me. Give and take or take and give will be the functional scale for me. Just to ensure win-win situation. Not a major or big problem for me about this matter.
