Tired of being kind towards everyone? Feeling betrayed by how this world manipulates your words and exploit your image? Retaining your good can be challenging sometimes.

Being happy when the rainbow is in the sky could be very easy, however, being happy when its pouring is the real trick. Life is like a stair whereupon stumbling on a tiny irregularity, you fall all the way down from where you had started initially. People around us tend to like us until we are equal or beneath them in any field of life. As soon as you rise and prosper a step ahead of them, they naturally develop envy and ultimately yearn to drag you down. Most of the time when we try to drag somebody down to the level where he/she used to be, we end up destroying everything that person used to have which makes this approach destructive and ethically evil. 

In history, many Dukes have killed the Kings just to gain more power than they already had instead of enjoying what was theirs. Many innocent lives had been taken in the past for the gain of power. Power and recognition are an addiction that could make people do bad things, really bad things without even realizing how cruel they are being towards the other person, and that too because he/she is just getting more acknowledgment by the crowd than they are.

All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.

-William Shakespeare.

I would highly agree with Shakespeare, yet would love to add more insight by saying that life is a stage and we all are the characters playing our individual parts. We have major characters and then the minor characters. All of the characters are equally important and absence of one can destroy the whole play. Similarly, we all are placed on different steps of social hierarchy and have our own roles in this world. By being sincere to what we are allocated to do, we can make this world a beautiful place to live in. On the contrast, always looking up to what others have and you don’t have, you are ultimately humiliating your self. Always keep your eyes on the success, and not the successful. 

Your success would be yours and somebody else’s success would be his/hers. Both the successes are different and belong to the different persons. See, the world never runs short on success and achievement. In order to emerge, you don’t need to drag others down and make your space forcefully. Make yourself worthy enough that your shine could be visible from miles away. Aim higher but don’t climb up by stepping on others faces. In fact, step up on the pillars of your achievements and strength of your character. Be a good human being who know workplace ethics. Workplace ethics tell us how to be a useful human being for the people around us.

Be the change in this worldly chaos and say no to drama! Live good, and let others live happily. Be the reason someone breath in peace today. 

Adios.
