No Short Cut to Success

Some people just want the easy way in, and easy way out. Hey, who doesn't right? Me included. But come on, let's face it, some people truly has everything the easy way, and some does not. Those that on the later category need to put in much more effort and commitment to achieve success. That is a fact but, for me, no matter what, gaining something that you perceives as a success must come from your determination and hard work. Being smart in doing that also is a major plus. The feeling that you felt when you succeeded are beyond words. It's an intangible treasure that you can only feel.

Nowadays, people just don't have this kind of desire anymore. They don't feel like sweating it out or go farther than what they're doing now. Always looking for a way to earn but doing nothing to achieve it. When things doesn't go well, they blame the surrounding sans themselves. They give up without actually really trying, because in their mind it will not work no matter how. Who's to say it won't work, when other people has proven that it can?

Including yourself with the upper class and gain benefits from them is the way to go, so some people think. Disappointing thought don't you think? Marry a rich man's son or daughter makes the road smoother than a shaved leg. Easy life gained. The End.. If one day, all that was taken away from them, how will they survive? Since they are so dependent on all this, how will they move on? Start all over again.. but where to start? You can't depend on people to be successful. Yes, you need them, get them and work together with them, but depend on yourselves. Just because your friend is rich, and you're not, doesn't mean you're a failure. Never compare with everyone, the comparison scale is endless and pointless.

I told a colleague of mine that, since he has a mind of "using" the connection with all the rich friends to do business, think the other way round as well, if he does not have all of these contacts, what will he do? Doing business is not easy, and must have a backup plan. He must ponder on that. I hope he listens because he's not the hardworking type of person, which is sad because he's a capable guy, just not wanting to "sweat" kind of guy. What a shame.

Everyone dreams of having an easy life with no worries. I wished I had one life as such too, but I don't have, and I'm not sulking because I know it takes time to achieve it, and once you achieved it, it is much more sweeter than you ever dreamed of.
