We all constantly hear from our parents , our teachers , our spiritual gurus to be kind to people , to show sympathy , to help people in need and to be there for people who need you .
This was absolutely true in their times . At their age , economy was falling apart , India was still recovering from the damages of colonisation , business were shutdown , food was short , psychology of people was full of fear and stress .In such a hard time definition of success falls drastically to only survival . So having healthy relationship with people around them was a must because they themselves needed it . All people knew that for their survival they need people around them so betrayal was not a thing .
But in today's time standards of success are way higher than two decades ago . Earlier, even having a full stomach while going to sleep was a thing to be proud of , but now definition of success is entirely different . Now people are more independent , they have freedom , they don't need other people's support for their survival , they only need their money to full-fill their greed . That's why building trust nowadays is extremely difficult , most of the people you encounter are hungry wolves , wearing sheep's skin and that's the truth no one can change .
So to be success-full in such a place where no-one except you and your family (mainly parents) cares about you , even you have to stop caring for other people . No one will ever offer you any help without anything in return , so you don't have to do it either.
I wasted 18 years of my life pleasing people who I don't even know now , so called friends who kept crying over my shoulder for my support , I wasted hours listening to problems of other people , helping them get over it , which I could have invested in learning skills which could have made my life much more easier, comfortable , and full of success .
If you were me 3 years ago , you would complaint why successful people are so egoistic , why toppers never bother to answer your doubts or even talk to you . You would call them arrogant , people whose minds are a slave to their success. But that's not even close to the real truth .
Since they never bothered to waste their time on useless people like all of their other stupid classmates including me , they improved themselves .
‘’ You would encounter tons of barking dogs on your road to success and if you keep on spending your time to quite them , I doubt you will ever reach your destination -""FiloFeelFree
