Success and Lonliness

Success and Loneliness
A person, just stepped out of a university with some ideas, has the passion to prove them a success, no matter they are practicable or not. As he starts putting the wheels in motions to give the ideas of his a physical appearance, he gets worldly with each step he takes.

His understanding of the way the world works, how does the society function and how to manage that, increases with every passing day. That management, be it towards time, work or resources.He even learns the role of relationships in his professional life. To what extent can he commit himself to relationships in his life be it towards family, friends, partner or colleagues.The need to succeed runs like an adrenalin in the blood, nothing can be seen when he is on that drive. There is only one motto in life at the time and that is "to succeed". He works as if there is no tomorrow. 24 hours in a day are less. Drives himself to the point of exhaustion to get up the next day and put in the same hours for more success. Starts measuring the rate of success as per the number of hours he puts in the business. And forgets everything but work.But have you realized that as the years push by and his ideas flourish in the tangible form what does he lack in his life? In the rush to succeed he forgot about what he requires apart from the professional life. What he requires at the end of the day when the work is complete? Towards the drive of success he forgot the essential requirement of a human being that of a home and companionship to live life.He even realizes that as he grows on that ladder, the loneliness increases in his life. He has less and less people to share his thoughts with. Has to guard his tongue all the time, check himself every time he speaks. Caution becomes a second nature to him. Relationships take on a stressed mode. He is measured by his success and not by the man he is.
He can't speak anything and everything to his boss and the same goes for his subordinates. And think that if he is the boss whom does he speak to? Imagine and you will be stunned as per how lonely a man can be when he is at the highest position on the ladder. At that time he craves companionship and relationships which he had put on hold for a lot of years to carve a niche in the professional world.
A person can only realize this if he has ever climbed the ladder and been on the run for his career. So don't judge a person by all the goodies that he has in his bag, but always by the amount of bank balance of happiness he has in his account..... cause money is a necessity but its not happiness.
You can buy a companion with money but not companionship.
You can buy colors but its not necessary that you can color your life with it..........
At which stage are you in life?
