The price of a real success

 

The Price of a Real Success - All humans living in this world certainly have the same target even though they achieve it in different ways and ways. That target is success, if you succeed in achieving the target of success then, you are a person who has succeeded in achieving the desired target. But, are you happy afterwards with that success? Yep, success has its negative and positive sides in life and success doesn't always invite joy.

One night, there was a young man who had dinner at a restaurant in Jakarta. The young man was very lucky because he got a position to eat at one table with a very famous motivator. Just imagine, the motivator must be paid hundreds of millions if you want to talk to him for just one hour. Well, at that time the young man was a very lucky person, not just one dining table, but also being able to talk and be treated by him.

At that time, in the middle of dinner, the motivator started a conversation by asking the young man, “ Hey, young man. Do you want to be Elon Musk?” and then, the young man said no. Surprisingly, the motivator looks surprised by the young man's answer. Yes, naturally the motivator looked surprised; the fact is that Elon Mask is the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, of course who would refuse to be Elon Musk, right?. Then, the motivator stated that 99% of what he asked about whether or not to become Elon Musk on average answered yes, that's a really rational answer. However, the motivator told the youth that he was different.

"It could be that the life you want right now is not what you need"

Maybe those of you who answered want to expect that Elon Musk really enjoys his well-to-do life and doesn't have to think about the miseries of life because of the lack of success, especially in terms of finances. Yoa, try to think for a moment about Elon Musk and try to imagine his real life. Of course, he is so very busy and spends more time with his work than to pamper himself with his family, friends, or even quality time to himself that he can't. Well, Hey!  Elon Musk's life is not as ideal as you think.

Rumors have been heard lately, Elon Musk often tweets controversial things in his own account. Then, Elon Musk is also reportedly experiencing depression because he works too much without giving himself a chance to refresh ( overworked). These abstract personal problems experienced by Elon Musk began to be seen by the public in 2018, where Elon Musk's personal life had an influence on the performance of his own company. If you pay attention to stock information, then you can see that Tesla's stock chart that year experienced such a drastic decline. What's more, Elon Musk told about the anxiety in his life that he was living in the New York Times.he stated that he has experienced discomfort in his life, often he spends his time working up to tens of hours every week, including on his special day (His born day) he spends his time working in the office, " all nights no friends, nothing".

From the story of Elon Musk we can see very clearly, right? Success is not a guarantee for everything. If yes, with success you get everything then, there is no way that success will torture you. But, in fact success does not give everything. Anything you can have with success, but not with happiness. Because happiness is not about a person's success or not, but about the comfort of the person in what he does.

The price of a “success” is very high; you can currently envy people who are more successful than you, maybe you can envy those who are successful with wealth here and there. However, do you realize that behind the curtain of his success, there are so many ups and downs that he did, even you don't know the negative things they personally feel from their success, their struggles and efforts are incomparable to what you are doing right now. Yes, because you are only biased and based on their success, it is possible that those who are successful are not as happy and peaceful as you think.

So, I meant it could be that the life you want right now is not what you need, instead a happier and more meaningful life is a normal life or an ordinary life. In the cycle, you live by completing your education, then working, then marrying until you have children, and in the end you die. Life like that will be happier than you have to be a rich person but invites misery.
