Even in your office you would have see a youngsters getting a job and turned out be very efficient in learning their new office work, you even find them very disciplined and they keep on getting appreciation for their work from their boss. You can feel the potential in those youngsters; still you would have noticed there are very few who make it big.
Sure, there would be plenty of factors like hard work, luck, circumstances or it can be their ability to handle the success. It is not an easy job to handle the success, you have been a boy next door ever since you were born and then one fine day you get recognition. All of a sudden you find people appreciating you all the time. You find your parents are proud of you and you get a chance to get back at the people who used to criticize your work or who used to consider you good for nothing.
Most of the people get distracted because of this fame and recognition. They sure do value what has brought them this recognition but still they fail to sustain it in their life and those who manage to sustain do accomplish the goal which they were supposed to.
To tell you the truth, it is painful not to achieve that success you always dreamt of, the passion you always had and the goal which didn’t let you to sleep for years when expectations of the people (including your loved ones) are riding high on you but it becomes even more painful if they have seen a glimpse of you getting there and now you are just not getting there.
So what should one do? The answers lie within you only. If you happen to be one of those people who think they have a setback (there are no failures but setbacks) because they were not able to handle the success then you must be congratulated because you have already realized it and next time when you would find yourself in similar situation then you would be mentally more tough to deal with it.
People who are yet not there, I want to say few humble words to them, “Never let success go to you head and a failure to your heart”.
Have you ever been in a similar situation? We would love to hear from you. Please drop your comment below. Thank you.
That's true my friend...it is not easy to handle the success. I loved the line... “Never let success go to you head and a failure to your heart”.
ReplyDeleteNice read...thanks.
Words are not enough to tell you how right this article is in my case. It's not everyone's cup of tea to handle the success...it is a tough job.
ReplyDeleteWe have seen many promising sports persons failing miserably. I think it was indeed their ability to handle the success. Handling sudden name, fame and money is not easy.
