Loyalty and true success
I wonder if I am weird or odd, not because I have three hands nor because something makes me less of a human being. Rather, it is because after all I have seen and witnessed, I still believe in staying loyal to a system.
There is this saying which inspires me particularly which goes "when you stand for nothing, you fall for everything."
Everyone wants to be successful, we often forget that even in success, a measure of commonsense is required. When we become desperate for power, we simply see others as a threat, we want to remove and destroy so that at the end of the day, we are the last man standing. We turn it into a kill or be killed, survival of the fittest scenario.
Success is great, but how we attain it also matters. One thing I tell people is that we must learn to never bite the fingers who fed us.
I look at certain things and I smile knowing fully well that when a man feels too wise, he becomes stupid at the end of the day. We can only use people to the point where we become used.
What is success when we have to destroy another man's vision to acquire ours? What is success when we have to suppress and dominate over everyone to make us feel superior and better.
I sometimes wonder how some people sleep well at night knowing fully well they spent their day thinking of how to manipulate others for their selfish use.
When we are loyal to a system, money is no longer the first priority, the success of that niche becomes the main goal. We are not concerned by how we are going to rake in a steady income from ill meaning intentions, we are however concerned about how we would make a difference and accept any reward that comes with it.
I once asked someone this question: do you see someone who is a brand ambassador for pepsi drinking cocacola? The answer is no! The reason is simply because of a term called loyalty which could invalidate a whole contract.
When you see people with such mindset to jump boats easily, just know that you have not found someone sincere, you have found a disaster waiting to happen.
Success can come anywhere, it can come in any location as long as you know what you are doing. You don't have to jump boats or feel you must copy the crowd and go to a particular location before you can be successful.
It is just like a lady believing she must apply makeup before she can be beautiful. I tell you that no matter the amount of makeup she applies, she will be ugly. She might be looking beautiful outwardly, but as far as she feels ugly inside, she is indeed ugly.
To be successful, you must have a loyal spirit first of all, if not you will you will just discover you built a paradise on quick sand.

Loyalty is something we all need. I remember the first time I read Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power which happens to be on e of my favorite books ever. The very first law is 'Never Outshine the Masters'.
This very law taught me the very meaning of loyalty. To me it meant discipline and self control. Too many time we feel we are better than those above us, then we begin to plot to take their place. Which may be a wrong move at the wrong time.
If we bid our time in loyalty, we will have what we desire when the time is right.
Stay loyal, stay humble
People who are always plotting to take the place of others usually become victims of sinister plots too. Either that or they find that they are renderred incapacitated towards their task. That's why karma exists.
Truly, out of desperation majority of us have lost their tracks, forgot their purpose, just because we want to feel superior and powerful. This is the main reason why the society we are into today is not getting better because of our selfish interest, and we forgot that "To be successful, you must have a loyal spirit first of all, if not you will you will just discover you built a paradise on quick sand". Thanks for that word wisdom.
Loyalty is like an oath or a cord you should not betray or break whatsoever the reason. It is very delicate to existence. Thank you @Ehiboss
The life we live is actually principle based. You just stated one of the most powerful principles of our world... LOYALTY.
loyalty these days is scarce. Loyalty to relationships talk less of that to a community.
But what people fail to understand is your loyalty is what gives your the patience to wait for your gold while it is still in a rubble of dirt.
People don't want to stick to the system. ONE SYSTEM.
but thank God there are still people like you, you make the world still bow to the acknowledgement of the fact that loyalty births the desired result.
I've not heard loyalty better illustrated and said than this.
God bless your inspiration.
And yeah! I anticipate S.I.N2.
Have a lovely day.
Those people can't stick to one system because they see life as a "we must not allow others be better than us" scenario and that is why they end up chasing their own tails. See you at SIN2
Yes boss... I anticipate
In this generation, money always come first...
People don't care anymore, is like when money is mentioned all sense of reasoning will be thrown away,
People don't think of tomorrow, they don't care who they step on to get to the top.. They bite the hand that fed them, all for fame and money.
Indeed it is sad
Disloyalty is now the new truth.
It is not my intention to go against all of your words, since I agree with most of them, but I think that there is a thought that could be expressed more accurately.
Looking at money as a first priority does not necessarily mean that people will become thirsty, blood-soaked killers without loyalty. Money is a tool, and it can be set as a goal just as any other thing can be set as a goal.
When humans were nomadic and travelled in clans, their currency was the resources that they had. Leather, food, they were all exchanged if needed, but they were kept and hoarded, used as needed and set as ultimate goals, since they were needed for survival. They did not betray each other for these goods, and in a priority table it would be possible to see that the safety of a brother or sister came first than getting a piece of pelt. But their priority was still their own survival, and society was just the way they were. Friendly, social, warm and interconnected, always loyal, but with survival as the first priority.
I hope that I expressed the difference between loyalty to a system and loyalty to our social circles. One may become a blind trust for a tradition while the other may become a social custom beyond ideals, the true character of a person.
In this generation, Loyalty is now more scarce than precious stones. This is why i don't trust anyone..
This is truly a word of wisdom.. Thanks for sharing
