The Downside of Success. Are You Successful?
-A few words to those who are trying to find success in this industry or in life. These are actual quotes from people who have dealt with or are dealing with success. I found all of these on the net in 5 minutes. Just thought it was interesting to read experiences from others who are dealing with some of the "negative" things that success can bring.
------------
The more successful you become, the more people there are who don?t like you. If you?re not fighting with someone you?re doing something wrong.
The more successful you become, the more likely you are to meet hateful and hurtful men. Prepare yourself now, so you will not be surprised when it happens.
The fact is the more successful you become, the more you will be criticized.
The more successful you become, the more people want to see you fall.
The more successful you become, the more some people will resent your success.
The more successful you become, the more people want to become like you.
The more successful you become, the more people who will dislike you because of it.
The more successful you become, the more critics you will have. Get used to it.
The more successful you become, the more you have to deal with people who hate you for one reason or another. It?s a sad statement on the human condition.
The more successful you become, the more enemies you make. I think one has to be strong. If I were not strong I would have been broken a long time back."
------------
Are you successful? How do you deal with things like this? Why do successful people have these kinds of problems? What makes a human being go after another human being who is trying to achieve something better for themselves? Is it jealousy? Is it lack of human compassion? What is it?
