It’s unsurprising that we become frustrated when our (arguably less) talented, much louder colleagues in the blogging community, get ahead of us. I’m sick of all the moaning about this.
It takes time, effort and dedication to turn yourself from just another employee into someone whose name is known and respected. Yes, doing this means taking a lot of time, and talent, that takes up so much of our working (and even sleeping) lives.
The desire for fame and recognition is not a bad thing. We should know that hardly anyone gets to the top alone. Nobody actually got ahead by just being really good on his own. We also collaborate with other individuals who have the skills, knowledge, or influence to attain the ultimate goal.
And while we might take the lion’s share of the reward, we also take all the risk should our efforts fail. Our brand stood to gain the most from all our efforts, but it has also taken the most flack when issues arise.
So let’s admit what’s really going on here. The haters are not angry with us for being less than entirely sociable with every other individual out there. The others are just jealous because we seem to be smarter, richer and more famous than them.
Well people, here are your options. Get out there, take a risk and maybe make yourself into a sensational star as well, or wait for someone else to do it again, and then support them when they have. Who knows? We could be the next individuals that will soon disrupt the way we normally live.
Haters will continue to hate when we achieve work nirvana. But rather than envying us or resenting our success, you should study us on how we can do less effort for more rewards.
