I have noticed that there is only one way to be successful on this world:
To utilize and benefit on other people's successes.
Yes, that's the truth of this world. "Success" is a networking scheme where only those who give and accept the most referrals would reach. One cannot be successful by oneself alone. Every success has some form of teamwork and connections within it.
Sure, one can say that they can be successful by themselves alone, but where did they get their clothing? Their food? And knowledge about success? Isn't it from other people?
Everything that was manufactured, sold, and given today came from other people. We live in a connected age, in a connected world. To assume one can be successful by own efforts and existence alone is the highest level of hypocrisy and arrogance.
This is what it means to be a social being. We live in a world where success is only given to those who give and ask, while constant failure and misfortune surrounds those who only take and use.
Your life and suffering, may be your own, but the means to live your life? The means to be happy? The means to be rich and reach your dreams? It can only be found from others.
None of your strengths and attributes will help you reach success alone, but you can use these strengths of yours to remain healthy, give and help others, while learning to ask others for help as well.
Man shall toil within his own pit, to offer his back and shoulder so that others may leave the pit, until someday they arrive, bringing a rope for him to escape and a feast to celebrate.
The leaders and organizers are the kings and queens of this world within their own kingdom, while their faithful servants are their members whom they treat as their equal. For most kingdoms, knowledge, warmth, and riches are shared in abundance.
Thieves, bandits, and peasants lives outside of the kingdom, where they must forever till the soil, hunt for animals, or take something away from each other just to survive.
To join a kingdom or create your own, which path will you take to your success, happiness, and dreams?
Either way, in order for you to be join or create your own kingdom, you have to first dominate the area and field you are in, or be selfless enough to be respected and remembered by anyone.
Be as unique and interesting as much as possible, while being useful to as many people as possible, and your influence shall grow large enough to be noticed in this world filled with billions of humans.
Only then will the royalties seek after you, and the people you helped will want you to be their king. However, if you fall short of your efforts or give up too early, you will find yourself lost within a jungle filled with wild animals.
As they say, be unique or be forgotten, what would you choose?
"Happiness and riches follows the trail of the kind and generous."
