you have to be a dikkhead to be successful
Don't forget it all stems from insecurity tooYou can't be nice if you want to be successful. You can't have too many people in your corner taking food from your table when you're trying to eat yourself. You can't be too open to others and leave yourself vunerable to being taken advantage of.
No one plays the game fair at all, and the people who lose out the most are the starry eyed goody two shoes who played the rules and played the game. They are the first ones to get upstaged by those who cheated and didn't play by the rules.And eventually get their dreams shattered.
Life ain't fair. Tough shyt. Learn to adapt to the game, find a cheat code, play the game...or the game plays you.
This is why people say it's not about what you know it's about who you know. Then you realize that degree you spent 4+ years trying to get is essentially not even worth that much. Even your resume with all of it's references, work experience, credentials, etc...is not as valuable as knowing someone in said company as a friend, frat/sorority brother sister, family member, etc. Cause keys open doors. If you don't have keys, what doors can you open? Someone is holding the door so you don't get in. Operating on good graces, being friendly, nice, and professional doesn't cut it in those situations.
Money talks, bullshyt walks! As long as you're making a company money, they'll be hard pressed to get rid of you.Its not thier negative attitude that made them Successfull
Im talking seriously successful people. Ted Cruz/ Steve jobs/ Jordan/ Kobe type a$$holes. They're CEOs, billionaires, senators etc. Very rarely would you find one who everyone considers nice and a decent man.
So basically if you want to make it you're gonna have to be a savage. You can't have both?

Actually it is. I'm talking about truly successful people. Not some manager at your local WalmartI actually don't think this is true at all.
Not at all. For every ass you named I can name others.Actually it is. I'm talking about truly successful people. Not some manager at your local Walmart
Exactly. Some people are just waiting for that moment for success, that opportunity...then you see how people really are. I hate to use relationship analogies, but I feel it's neccesarily appropriate here. You got that high school sweetheart you've been with since Freshman year. You graduate college same class. You get married. You're just basic, living that basic life. Then that Don Juan DeMarco guy comes along who has more money, more opportunities, better looking, etc, and he's all up in your girl's grill and she's feeling him...eventually she leaves you for him and you realize, you were just there for the time and she was putting up with you until something bigger and better came along.
In regards to the bolded: people need to remember 1 thing. YOU CAN'T BE EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE. Period.
Personally, I'm not the type of person that was content within success as defined by the social construct of society in the most basic ways...going to college, graduating, getting a good corporate job, getting married, having kids, etc...that's not my idea of success, it may be to someone else. So you realize if you're not going by society's blueprint to success, it's going to be much harder to get to that level...but when you do, you might be able to have that opportunity to put your day one people's on.
But you can't help everyone out. You can't give out money and jobs to everyone. You can't put as many of your people that fukked with you on the same spot of success. They might not know what to do with it. And then you'll eventually have people you've barely messed with like that as a friend or associate asking you to do stuff for them. even worse, you get people who hated your guts back in the day acting like they were day one people's just so they can get a piece of your pie.
