So far, So Good
Everything at work has pretty much been a success. I’ve been working extensively the past few days on a project for a local law firm; taking a crack at it with my trusty HTML whip.
In all honesty, I’ve learned more in the past few months from just trial and error. Yet, that’s how it usually is for our species, we learn and succeed by failing. At the same time, we sometimes need to take a step back and ultimately see how things will shape up on their own instead of trying to please everyone.
As Bill Cosby once (or twice, or three times) said:
“I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.”
If you think about it, Bill couldn’t be more truthful. There are many times in life where we feel we’ll only succeed if we please the masses. If you ask any student of Psychology, he or she will explain that we attain personal achievement by allowing ourselves to only achieve at the expense of someone else’s opinion.
Rather, we should look to success as a seed. One that needs a bit of comfort and care to eventually grow into a tree and in time branch off into other great avenues.
