Everyone, whole through in his life remains engage to attain or achieve some targets. These achievements, may be of the category of materialistic world or spiritualistic or social one etc. But, have you ever pondered over one important fact. This fact is, up to an age limit your these achievements helps generate inside you a joyous feeling and comfort, but not after that age barrier.
The youth is fraught with energy
Till the period of time you are young, you are but naturally harnessed with sufficient energy to attain your targets. Apart from that, you are surrounded with a crowd of kith and kin. At that age, you intend to get appreciation and approval of your “excellence” from this crowd. Beside, you are fraught with a competitive instinct. Withal, you intend to establish a fact, “I am a bit more “different and superior” to you people, and, you are ‘do nothing’ or inferior to I.” This bragging instinct survives up to an age limit, at maximum to your fifties.
Conceit
And, by chance or luck you happen to attain your some targets by reaching at your thirties. Now, you begin saturated with an adverse element of “Conceitedness”. For in common, other people are destined to achieve that by reaching at their fifties or more. So, this makes you brimmed with a conceited demeanor. This feeling visits you, by virtue of your being young and immature. For example, if by reaching at your thirties, you erect a magnificent house or collect some laudable immovable properties. This makes you, filled with some “swaggering” attitude, and, it all begins to display in your mannerism.
Now, you happen to describe your this achievement amidst your kith and kin,( may whatsoever you act polite in your mannerism.) It begins to get displayed in your mannerism subconsciously. May be your this crowd of friends and acquaintances is bound to appreciate your attainment under courtesy. But if, you deeply realize (and truth is), because of ‘civility’ they do it. The fact is, they are jealous with you. Their this suppressed demeanor, multiplies your pleasure. And, if your this story of achievement happens to spread at a large level, you feel yourself thrilled and exhilarated.
Your earlier achievement pushes you ahead, with more energy to attain more new goals. With an example of your being political aspirant, and, as such you happen to achieve some notable success at early age. This again makes you become “conceited” inside, which you don’t express behind the mask of your humble demeanor. But do not avoid the fact, this Universe has ever been guided and directed by some mysterious “Super power.”
Time as a cruel factor
May some other person be not able to crush your this conceit, but the “course of time ” ably hits you adversely. In this process of succession of happiness of achievement, it seems to you that you can easily climb on the wrung of ladder of achievements one after another. But a time is destined to register itself, as a debacle. That makes you realize, not only the wrung of the ladder, even the main poles of this ladder suddenly got crashed.
Why and how it happened so? As said oftentimes, the “fate” plays a major role in your success story. On the contrary, you begin to feel that all this occurred because of your personal acumen and decisions taken on a proper point of time.You forget one thing, in case of your earlier success your achievements were precocious. In this competitive world, you have had good numbers of competitors. These competitors were keenly watching your every drive, and targeting to foil your mission. This world is so brutal.
In this conspiracy of brutality, your kith and kin may be assisting clandestinely, who were extending their good wishes at your attainment not so long back. They now feel exhilarated at your being toppling down. By virtue of unwritten principles of this world, you are destined to gain some achievements up to some prescribed level.
Principle of “upper ten”
To climb the further wrung of ladder of success, the principle of “Upper Ten” is an all time axiomatic law that applies. At every level, be that a village or colony or other high level as well, this principle always registers its presence significantly. For example, at local level you may be counted, in this list of upper ten. But after that, there begins a more complicated struggle, to make a place in that list at “city level,” and then on to “regional to Provincial level.” Now this is a combat, basically amid this ‘top tens’ to make a permanent position. The negative factor of your previously described hidden conceited mannerism inhibits your success.
It is purported that your series of success of your youth time, may certainly not bound to continue as such. For, your this drive of heading on as a successful man, might have been effected adversely, by your “subconscious conceited attitude.” Successful people, when reach at the age of sixties or above, are noticed with a diminishing element of conceited behaviour. Till that time of period, the crowd before whom, they happen to boast is either out of their social circle or they take themselves out from that circle.
By reaching to this age group, their sensory perception get loosened now, and a new generation of youth ably get replaced them. This youth, dam cares about their achievement of erecting of a magnificent villa or social status. Since this generation is equipped with quite a different social and economic values. They simply appraise your achievement as your personal materialistic mission, that nowhere is to benefit them in any way.
The what is the exactitude? Simple! Accept your every achievement nonchalantly. Whatsoever, we attain or earn is saturated with our selfishness. No element of benevolence existed there. Only, when you relate your deeds with “social causes,” that only makes your acceptance in the society at large. But how many of us tend to consider the issue up to that level, that is worth ponderable. Penned by- Vinay Pharasi…..
