Some say that when a person achieves success in their job, it means that he/she is selfish and doesn’t care about others. Do you agree or disagree?

There is a common perception that accomplishments make one self-centered and apathetic to others around. Nevertheless, this notion is often challenged vehemently by a lobby that out rightly  rejects the former claim.

Ridiculing winners and calling them as self-centered is outrageous. Being triumphant in life needs one to go into self deprivation and focus all energies on attaining objectives. During this process, it becomes incumbent for individuals to make sacrifices of comforts and luxuries otherwise enjoyed by their kith and kin. However,  once they reach the pinnacle, the exploits of their attainments are laid for everyone, around such  individuals, to consume and derive pleasure. For instance, accomplished sport personnel usually toil it hard on the playground to sustain their performance, their nears and dears lead a life of luxury, an outcome of the struggle of the former.  

 

Moreover, being resentful towards triumphant individuals is quite inappropriate looking at the contributions accomplishments of such people make to the society. These people devote their life, face adversities, and pay high personal costs to innovate, which in turn benefits the society. There have been several precedents where the hard earned success of some people paved the way for betterment of human life. 

 

Nevertheless, there are some, although in negligible numbers, fit this statement perfectly. There have been instances where those achieving professionally have become absorbed in self glorification, and flaunting their trophies of extremely rare victories. Such people generally range from poor to mediocre who use unfair means to become successful, if such individuals left at their own devices, they would fail miserably. 

 

To conclude, I thus fail to concur with this statement and instead feel that those who conquer the peaks tend to create benchmarks for others and let others use their attainments for their own purpose.
