Thanks for the post!
I believe successful people have qualities that we can try to emulate if we genuinely believe that it will benefit us rather than distract us. Of course, we shouldn't follow them blindly, and we should adjust our expectations. Just because you copy someone's early morning routine (e.g. all those gurus that wake up at bloody 5 AM in the morning) does not guarantee you success. To me it all boils down to hard work and consistency. And even then, you might not get your success. But at least you tried.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Thing is everybody has good qualities. Heck most successful people tend to be assholes
That logic @kyriacos makes no sense. You just directly contradicted yourself.
"Everybody has good qualities....successful people are assholes "
So everyone doesn't have good qualities then?
No, being an asshole is a good quality. Look at Steve Jobs and how his asshorly made him a good boss. Heck, check most bosses. :)
Chelsea, don't rush
I guess everyones experience is different. You are essentially lump summing all "bosses " as assholes. Is that because you've had a lot of asshole bosses? A good boss mentors, challenges , appreciates, and values his or her employees because this increases morale. Being an asshole decreases morale leads to increased turnover which can clearly make your business less successful.
Steve Jobs is the exception to the rule. Maybe he is a super successful asshole. But again you did say we shouldn't try to follow successful People. Seems in this case you are a bit enamored by thequality of being an asshole
Not all, many. Let us not make over-generalisations.
logical fallacy. begging the question
we all know the dictionary definition of the self-help class.
Steve jobs was admittedly asshole-asshole yet he build the most successful company on the planet. Your textbook parroting doesn't really cut it.
No he is not. Ruthless bosses are the rule. true across history, whether we talk about business or politics.
Don't try to play psychologist online :) . it's pathetic.
Usually when people resort to personal insults such as calling someone pathetic is a clear sign of losing an argument. You are talking out both sides of your mouth and when i have a counter all you can say is 'don't play psychologist online" . Great job defending your views there buddy. Lmfao.
I didn't say you are pathetic. I said your choice about playing psychologist online is. You lost the argument long ago with your false projections.
Yeap I can definitely think of quite a number of successful assholes in my life. Not as many that are nice, humble or kind.
