Everybody loves success, but I hate it. Crazy, huh? But that's true. Jey Geethan has taught us one thing really well—never get complacent when you are successful because times change, and whatever worked for you to be successful can become obsolete in the next few years.
Also, success makes people overconfident. They let the success become more important than what it is. Success means that your strategy worked and you are reaping its benefits. But that doesn't mean the success will stay with you forever.
Success can cause people to lose their guard and thus blind them to any failures that could come their way. Most successful people believe their past success is a shield against future failures, but that's not the case. We know too many successful people who have gone bankrupt.
Failures, now there's a teacher. Life's game isn't about avoiding them but learning from them. They're the ones that show you the ropes, that guide you towards success. But success? It's a different story. It can lull you into a false sense of security, leaving you unprepared for the next challenge.
So, should we glorify failures and dampen successes? Absolutely not. Let us be accurate and celebrate success—for 15 minutes. And we will keep learning from failures.
