Lessons From life; You do not need everyone to succeed

Since the inception of creation the human race has always been one that constantly yearns for companionship. In the bible we were told that after God created Adam he saw that the dude was bored and he thought " its not good for man to be alone" and that lead to the creation of the female gender.

Everyone needs someone in life, and if you look at it systemically life has been programmed in such a way that we can't really survive without one another. First you need a mother to conceive you and bring you into this world. Then you need a home to nurture and groom you into maturity, then you go to school and need a teacher to teach you all you now know even how to speak, read and write correctly.

No man is an island of wisdom. At some point the people we now look up to once looked up to someone to teach and train them.

This yearn for companionship has grown is resent years and now most people go the extra mile to be accepted by family, friends, relations e.t.c.
Most people especially the young generation now goes the extra mile to fit into societal norms, cultural norms, religious and political norm just to be among the "happening guys" even when sometimes they do this at their own detriment.

overtime in life I have seen and met a lot of people now that I'm trying to prove I'm wise, its far from it but I always like to give myself a good watch when I see someone try so hard to look good and please everyone they come in contact with. I sometimes feel like grabbing a bowl of popcorn and see the movie through.

One of the hardest lessons I've had to learn in life is that you cannot please everyone. and sometimes a little hate is healthy. I once read a book where the writer said that when you are moving to the next level in life, be it at work, in school or anywhere and you ain't faced with a challenge or opposition then check if you really are doing the right thing

Listening to other people opinion is important but sometimes you do not need to listen toother people's opinion atall. Everyone always have reasons why you cannot do it. people will always give you reasons why you can not make it and will always see reasons to criticize you even when you are obviously doing the right thing.

You can’t do it. You can try and fail miserably... but you will never succeed. Some people simply can’t be pleased no matter what you do.
They won’t be pleased because they either just don’t like you or they just don’t like your work. They may not even have a specific reason they can pinpoint. Most people aren’t very logical. In my writing experience you will be surprised to know that I get more hate mails than praises when I write, especially about Africa. But I've grown to always expect criticism in my rise to success.

what people fail to recognize is that opinions are just opinions. They ain't facts, the fact that you have alot of opinions doesn't make them right.

In Your journey to success you need to realize that more people will kick against you on your way up than on your way down. The higher you go the more opposition you're likely to face. You don't have to play by their rules, don't follow the crowd. Follow your heart and let it lead. don't let their smiles fool you, sometimes beneath those smiles likes hatred. Don't be deceived.
