Can you win in this super competitive world?

Are you one among those who are striving hard to win? The one who works hard to taste the essence of success? Then this is for you. Do you think you can win in this super-competitive world?

Almost, 50 years back there were fewer opportunities and lesser people trying to grab it. There were job flourishment and money flow. But, in today's world, you have ample opportunities and millions of people trying to make use of it. There are new emerging fields of job opportunities, there are new inventions now and then, there are so many resources to help you lift your life. But, as much as the opportunities have widened, the number of competitors has also increased. Nowadays, success is based on what you show to the world, how many followers you have on your Instagram and how many have viewed your YouTube video. The world is surviving on content and marketing. Even if you are a super scientist with extraordinary inventions, you will not be considered a success until you market your product and someone else buys it or approves it.

Social media has become today's world. There are businesses which are running solely based on social media, there are people who help people via media, there are wars in social media, there are hatred, competition, love, protests, fame, money and everything through social media.

In this technological era, if you are not identified by google (i.e., if you don't have any social media accounts) then you are dead, you are not alive. There is no one existing such as you. Isn't this crazy?

Success in this competitive world is approval. You are successful if people like you and your products. You may be talented but if your talent is not approved then you are considered as a failure.

Success is money. Yes, success is absolutely money. People who have money can be easily successful than those who are struggling. Money is everywhere, every one of us is striving for that imaginary paper which loses its worth once torn. You might study hard and prepare for an entrance exam, your whole future might depend on the one exam you are going to write. So, you put up all your energy and hard work to give the best. And then, someone comes along with money and bags that seat which was to be allocated to you. Now, who will the world consider to be successful? You or the person with the money?

These are some of the parameters that you need to be successful as the world wants. Now, please rethink do you want to be successful? If no then don't stress yourself. If yes, then you can be successful without meeting any of these parameters. But, how? The only way to be successful in this virtual world is to define success for yourself.

You should not let others define your success. Of course, people will label you as a failure if you don't meet their standards. They will not respect you for who you are. But, you should not let the opinion of others affect you. You should know when you are successful and when you need more training. You have to take charge of your life in every aspect and have control over what thoughts should affect your mind.

No one except you is walking your path. Not your mother, not your partner, not your best friend. It is you, who has to decide how your life goes. I know that with all these social media influences it is quite hard to not let the opinion of others affect you. But, to be really successful with your life you have to quit being emotionally attached to any of those that only degrades you. You have your life and You have your life and you define it. No matter what you do, just think twice before letting a thought surpass you.
