When you look at successful people you see a finished product and not a segmented procedure to their success….don’t make the mistake of thinking if only you do exactly what they did you’ll be like them. Chances are you’ll be nothing like them.
Everyone has their own unique path in life to walk and their own customized experiences and opportunities that shape their outlook.
Reading the courses that Kofi Annan read may not even get you a standard job let alone UN Secretary General or Chancellor of UG.
That’s precisely the reason you should avoid being a copy cat and rather be yourself whilst learning from the experiences and life of people you admire and wish you were like.
Success is too relative and subjective a position to quantify, rather, work towards a satisfaction of your primary urges, some of your secondary needs and a bit of your tertiary wants. Successs is a mindset, you’re as successful as you objectively believe you are…many people we believe are successful feel more unaccomplished than us, and talk to us about the same problems that plague us.
The people you believe are rich will jail you over 100 Cedis that in your poverty you can give away without batting an eye, those you think need nothing are toiling day and night for some contract that they believe wIill change their lives. The GREDA boss who am sure you thought was a filthy rich man was making his coins by interrupting international calls in SIMBOX fraud, and he couldn’t even pay what he stole to prevent a jail term.
There are many shades of grey, so relax, focus on your life, manage your “nothingness”well for someone is wishing they were like you. In all things never look down upon yourself even as you work towards your goal. Never ever assume, however, that your goal is an end. There’s really no end to the pursuit of success, you’ll just have to pause somewhere before you become a greedy, brutish beast.
