“Never yet, not once, have you ever smiled at a stranger, said “sorry” to a friend, or bowed to the glory of nature, when sparks didn’t fly, tears didn’t roll, and praise wasn’t sung for you behind the curtains of time and space.
All hail to you,
The Universe”©Mike Dooley, http://tut.com
You deserve greatness, especially after working so hard for it. There is no reason to underestimate yourself and your capabilities, or feel that wealth and greatness is reserved for just a small portion of the population (0.00001%). So why not be a part of that 0.00001%? Is it so hard to achieve? Yes, maybe that small percentage of people made it happen by scamming a few people, just look at our presidential candidates and you will know exactly what i mean. They may have no issues living the great life without feeling any remorse, any guilt of any sort to the people they have done wrong. It is a path they chose in life, so you do not really need to mimic their behavior to succeed. Yes, honest way to make it big will take a whole lot more time, but at least you will have many who envy you because of your honest success, and not because of how dishonest you’ve been to get to where you are.
Many will try to cut corners, and I know it is very tempting. No one will ever stop you from doing what you feel is right or wrong, so it is really up to you to do whatever you feel is important for yourself. You are the one who will need to live with yourself when climbing the ladder, so might as well climb it the right way. Not everyone will see the hierarchy climbing the same way and if you are being too naive, you will find yourself step on by others who feel that screwing others for their own benefit is a must to survive. Protect yourself as much as you can as you do not want to be regretting not doing the things that could have made you get to the top. We are in a jungle, and we all need to survive somehow. Be smart, be vigilant and do not let yourself be stepped on by anyone but if climbing the ladder in an honest way is a possible option, I would suggest you to use it.
