Sanu-Key to Success

No, it’s not a spelling mistake or typo in the title. I am emphasizing on the fact that the key to success is Sanu-key: Punjabi (Language spoken in the State of Punjab, India) word which loosely translates to 'why do I care?'

I would like to make it clear that in this article, I am not proposing total ignorance of humans around you. I am just taking the idea introduced in this article in a different way in the context of path to success.

You might be wondering that if I don't care how I can be successful. Well, you can be if you don't care about anything, anyone else says, but focus only on your goals and ambitions. When on the path to success, crossing milestone after another, people do get jealous of you - how-so-ever they might be close to you. They may be at the top position in your well-wisher's list, but jealousy arises when you shame their expectations. In plain-vanilla terms, how can anyone else be happy when you are happy because of your own success? No kinship, brother/sisterhood, fan club wishes etc. are absolutely true in the sense they are portrayed. Only absolute thing in this world is Mother's love. Period.

Other people, they try to discourage you, dwindle your morals and confidence, to scare you by telling some of the potential pitfalls you might fall into, if you go ahead on your chosen path to success. If you even heed to any one of these people, you have, with your own hands, erased the picture you created in your childhood where you were standing on top of the mountain with your hands stretched wide, facing sun and basking in its light. (Might also have Superman's red cape on your shoulders)

Think for yourself, how and why has anyone ever helped you to reach where you are today? And if you were unable to pay them back for their contribution, have they continued to still behave in the same manner as they did some years earlier? I guess NO echoes in your head right now.

When you helped someone for their progress and they did not acknowledge it, have you continued to help them in the same manner? Again the same echo, right? Indeed, what goes around comes around.

So when they don't continue the same relationship with you, why would you? Shouldn't you ignore every jabber others do, decide in your mind what impression you want to leave of yourself in this world and focus only and only on that? This is not the same as to ignore every other single soul around you and work for yourself. Rather it is about ignoring the shit they have to say and progress on your envisioned path and succeed. And maybe then, be the bigger person and help others as well to elevate. That leads to a better world where successful, talented people help the diametrically opposite ones? As a result, the one who always help others, end up being benefited at the end of every success story and no one feels as if they were a stepping stone in other person's journey to top. Win-win situation, isn't it?
