My thoughts on Success

in #investment7 years ago

It was a thought that originated from the observation of youths and entrepreneurs believing they can make wealth by just investing in businesses and making money decisions. There is a limit to what that can achieve and where it can take you. I recently came to an understanding that the richest men in the world didn't aspire to be the richest but rather aspired to make a difference. Not just any kind of difference but the type of difference that touched and changed lives. They were not even thinking about the money aspect. they were thinking about an idea that would reach out and connect people in a way no other person has. They put people first before the money and in the long run were rewarded with more than they expected. An example worth mentioning includes Mark Elliot Zuckerberg; co-owner & CEO of Facebook. he had an idea to connect people. He never thought about the money angle or how he could monetize the app(All these came after the fact when he got his objective).

Steven Paul Jobs is another perfect example(May he rest in peace). He was the chairman, chief executive officer, and co-founder of Apple Inc. he had an idea to revolutionize computing and He did and has been recognized worldwide as a pioneer of the microcomputer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s.

So many names that could be mentioned and yet the fact remains the same. you do not become the richest or wealthiest by just thinking about making money, You do that by putting people first and making them your priority.

People would say you know this and still you're not the richest or wealthiest. In truth, I don't want wealth or riches. I just want to make a difference. If they come along the way, that's just more to boost the budget for the implementation of my ideas and ideals
