Success defined by
IN my perspective, the first thing makes these people drive is in normal terms attention seeking and in their terms it's 'recognition'. Constantly they seek attention. They should be first. Their voice must be heard. They should be recognised.
So, this attention seeking mentality makes them great marketers. Their primary product is themselves.
This leads to considering being rude in general in society. However, to them, they are being focused. Targets and goals are to be achieved at any cost
Another trait being successful is being insensitive. The word sensitivity is not in their dictionary. Many cases it's also proven, to achieve a goal, sensitivity should be removed from mind. If one keeps thinking about how others feel or regard, it's difficult to move towards target. Not thinking about others is the way to success.
People working for them are nothing but pests. They need money. They are not humans to consider. Use them in everything. Sometimes for marketing too. It's OK. These workers should always be thankful for every opportunity they get to serve their masters. To be useful for the master's progress. The idea of disposable n replaceable works well on success ladder.
The path of insensitivity leads to maintainance of relationships. To be successful, have to let go of weak links. They may be colleagues or friends or relatives.
When one starts letting go of relations, those spaces need to be filled in by others. Choosing of associations carefully is another trait. Friends with benefits. Only useful people remain. Anything to do with heart is thrown out.
These successful people never help anyone to achieve anything. They definetly pretend. To show off. However, in reality, they hate to give a hand to anyone who has the capacity to be 'Successful '. They hate to share the space with anyone.
These so called successful people, are highly competitive in nature. So competitive that in their race, they don't mind to kill. In all senses.
Socially considered selfishness. However to people want to be successful n are successful, it's concentration, n focus.
Socially considered insensitive. For successful people it's just target oriented tasks. Sacrificing a few souls to achieve targets is OK!
What society regards as shamelessness doesn't exist in these so called successful people. They are functioning with dedication n for higher cause. That's all.
All is perspective. Nothing wrong. However, everything lies in the definition of SUCCESS. In today's society, success is always measurable. How much money one makes. How loud are they. How insensitive they are. How many successful friends they have.
At the end of their life these successful people find themselves all alone.
