About collective success...

Success stories of success oriented people don't photoshop their stories. They're factual in their individual recounts, but that's why they inspire many, including those on the verge of despair - and that's what's up. Success is when you're able to motivate those who show promise, knowing how likely they're to develop in what they do, if only they know what they have, and what they could be.

Success is when you do not confer on someone else what you consider to be bad for yourself. It is when you don't feel too good to ask. It is about steadiness in the maintenance of proper consideration for the feelings and rights of others in whatever you do. It is when you don't put dampers on other people's fun, especially harmless fun. It is when you don't see the need to lower other people's morale, even if you couldn't get them to do their thing your way. It is about showing willingness to contribute to progress and to cause others to take action. It is about striving to be better than mediocre. It is about not criticising other people for faults that you have in abundance.

Unless a people are assuring and promotive of the success they desire; unless they seperate themselves from needless pessimism and be confidently affirmative where needed; unless they stop being reluctant to reveal their emotions and unbiased opinions, theirs will be but a community of should-haves, could-haves, and perhaps once-weres...Naozubillah!!
