SUCCESS

People often mistake success for the absence of ‘mistakes’ and ‘failures’. You can see it in the approving smiles for perfect resumes and unblemished career paths. Yet what really matters in success is the end result. Not how you get there. Most people who have so called perfect resumes and unblemished career paths also lead ordinary lives with minor yearly salary increments and muted improvements like the occasional car/house upgrade. The Donald Trumps, Robert Kiyosakis and Richard Bransons of the world on the other hand, faced bankruptcy, lawsuits, poverty.. ups and downs as deep as the valleys and as high as the mountains… yet in the end their triumph is far greater than mere mortals’ – billion dollar empires, worldwide fame and power. The truly success-driven don’t care about how they get there, only that they do get there.

So the next time someone looks down at you for not living an unblemished life, be it in career, personal finance or anything else, smile and remember that they have the common man’s thinking while you are planning for greater things to come.
