They walk like us.
Talk like us.
Eat like us.
Laugh like us.
The operative word here is “like” as in similar, because at one time they were us.
Then something changed.
Progressively and methodically. Wonderfully.
They increasingly became more successful than us.
And it just wasn’t about the money, though the money was a very important part of it. They tend to have a lot more than us. As a result, they live in more desirable neighborhoods than us.
Though, once not so, they have become successful people.
Success is the state or condition of meeting a defined range of expectations.
It may be viewed as the opposite of failure.
The criteria for success depends on context, and may be relative to a particular observer or belief system.
One person might consider a success what another person considers a failure, particularly in cases of direct competition or a zero-sum game. Similarly, the degree of success or failure in a situation may be differently viewed by distinct observers or participants, such that a situation that one considers to be a success, another might consider to be a failure, a qualified success or a neutral situation.
Perhaps we can focus on the criteria for success that most of us can agree upon.
How about your life? Do you feel you are successful? If you do, great for you because many of us wish and feel that we could be doing better. Much better.
If you are successful and just starting out in your career, how can you become more successful?
As often, as we like to do, we will start with our own experiences and then turn to the experts.
First of all, success encompasses more than just having a lot of money.
Some people have a lot of many but have suffered through multiple divorces, incarceration and are constantly in conflict.
We are talking about people, who are sometimes single or have beautiful families, are involved in work that they love, and yes, have a substantial income.
One of the most important things we noticed is they are people of self-control.
They are diplomatic and don’t always say what they really think. They tend to praise and be very complimentary of others. They take responsibility for their actions, are not victims and do not blame others for their failures. Instead, they learn from their failures and change.
That is just their internal makeup.
We also noticed they are savers instead of big spenders. Though they could easily spend more, they don’t.
They work hard, are disciplined and don’t give up on their important goals, even after a tremendous setback. They bounce back up and try again.
The successful people that we know and have met tend to give to and support others by encouraging, inspiring and building them up. Smaller people tend to be very controlling of others and are threatened by other people’s success. They are often criticizing others while trying to tear them down.
In their minds, their failures are not their fault.
The successful people we know tend to desire partnerships and view their resume in terms of how much, the people the people they have mentored, have greatly achieved.
Let’s turn to film.
Batman Begins is a 2005 superhero film directed by Christopher Nolan and written by Nolan and David S. Goyer.
The film is based on the DC Comics character Batman, it stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne / Batman, with Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, Gary Oldman, Cillian Murphy, Tom Wilkinson, Rutger Hauer, Ken Watanabe, and Morgan Freeman in supporting roles.
The film reboots the Batman film series, in a far better and believable way, than the most recent, previous Batman film disasters.
This gem tells the origin story of Bruce Wayne from the death of his parents to his journey to become Batman and his fight to stop Ra’s al Ghul and the Scarecrow from plunging Gotham City into chaos.
In terms of success, though he was not there long, Bruce Wayne’s father, Thomas Wayne, was extremely impressive. He delegated authority to other successful men, thought outside of the box, loved his family and was always positive. He was respectful to all. From the servant to his top corporate executives.
He was also a huge teacher of important life lessons that will help you become successful.
How to overcome fear.
How to get back up after you fall.
He was extremely impressive.
It is always nice to re-live this version of the Batman film franchise. We have watched it at least ten times and always feel more inspired and deeply moved after viewing it again.
Every time.
So, that was some of our views regarding successful people.
Time to walk over to the book store.
We like this one. It is an alternative to our thinking.
