The more successful and sought after you
become, the more humble you must be. This is called "digesting" your success.
With this comes congeniality and genuine praise from people.
It's like a beautiful person who is
completely unaware of her beauty. She is loved for being just herself. When
arrogance sets in, even a beautiful or successful person begins to seem
unattractive and often, starts to lose friendships both inside and outside the
family. Losing sight of the niceness of those around you and whatever they have
sacrificed or done for you is a trait that comes in with the ego that develops
with success. Do not succumb because soon, even your success will begin to feel
a little hollow.
This is the mantra for living. Be humble,
because anything can be taken away: success, beauty, anything. What remains
with you is you humility, genuineness and consideration for others. It is not
everyone that can remain with feet on the ground whatever status they acquire.
Absolutely essential to introspect and mend your ways, as you leave others to
mend theirs.
A tree laden with fruits bends its branches
more than one that does not bear fruit. So, with success should come the humility.
