Succeed For Yourself Not the Crowd
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Lance_Winslow]Lance Winslow
So many people wish to succeed in life, they want to make a dent in the world, win at something, become the best and even leave a legacy behind after they are gone. Of course, in doing all this one must remember that it is the society that ultimately judges your accomplishments and hands out kudos to individuals either living or dead based on the values that society has determined. So, if you want to be great you have to conform to society’s standards in the period for which the judging of your accomplishments is based.
Often, famous writers, artists and others are deemed to be great after they are dead. This is perhaps because their art or writings were ahead of their time and not appreciated in the period in which they were created due to the fact that at that time society valued other things over their works. Thus, the artist or writer must have written or created for themselves, not the mob or masses, and therefore were able to do incredible work well ahead of their time.
Does this mean if you really want to create a legacy that you need to create in the present period such things that may never be appreciated by society? Does it mean that if you become great in your own time that you will be forgotten in present periods? Or does it merely mean that if you want to be great in the present period and future periods, you are going to have to work very hard and keep the society happy with your endeavors and leave a little meat on the plate for future periods of another time.
Please think on this and ask yourself what is success; Caving into the Mob or Creating for Self or could it be both?
