Everyone seeks for success,some in personal life, others professionally, most of us in both areas. Some admit that, others don`t( maybe not even to themselves).
I myself I know I can do good in both fields, it may be hard sometimes but I never give up. Not necessarily due to what others may think or due to my vanity ( though this still has a great part in my life , some say it fades with the age), but I`d consider it a failure. And I` m not used to it. I don`t care if others pass judgements on me, as long as I can look myself in the mirror and know I didn`t let myself down.I was pretty hunger for success and still am.
But I read something the other days which changed my perception a little bit. This is Saint Paul's motto "sic transit gloria mundi" (the glory of the world is transitory). What I understand from it is that you may do your best to use the success as a tool, not as an end itself. Perhaps this filantropical behaviour may be considered selfish by some people. And maybe it is, maybe unconsciously we give help to help ourselves, but who cares as long as we can help a lot of people in this way? I bet we`d have a better world if there were a lot of " selfish" people out there.
