When Success Changes People
In this life, success is sweet and the secret is sweat, but sometimes it comes with many changes. Some of the changes are good, but truth be told, some can be very bad. I have see it with my own eyes how money and power can turn a humble person into someone else or arrogant completely.
There is one saying I always remember if you want to know the true color of somebody, just wait until they get small money, or when they climb to one position. You will be surprise. A friend that use to laugh with you, eat with you, even share small garri with you, once he make it, he may not even pick your call again. It’s like success sometimes bring pride along with it maybe they felt pride spirit along.
The thing is not that success is evil, no. It is good to be successful, we all pray for it. But the real matter is how people allow it to enter their head. Some start to feel like they are bigger than everybody, they stop respecting the people who once stand by them when they had nothing. Even family members, they will start looking down on them.
I believe true success is not only about money nor high position or having many properties, it is about still keeping your heart clean, may people happy, having a heart of giving to the needy and still being kind and humble no matter what you have. Because at the end of the day, respect and love is what people will remember, not how many cars you bought. And they always says people will always be remembered for two things the problem you create and the problem you solved, been a solution to people problems will always be an unforgettable action.
For me, I always pray that when success reach me, I should not forget where I come from not forget how humble I was and how generous I have always been. Because nothing pain pass when somebody you love and help you to rise now treat you like you are nothing.

A lot of people change with time, regardless of success or not, but then I agree with the fact that you don't know who a person is until they're rich.
Yes, success is good but we shouldn't let it get in our heads. We shall indeed by the good deeds we've done not by the possessions we amassed. We should never change towards those who stood by us.
Thanks, those are there for us in the Struggles, we should not forget them when we succeed
Nothing pain pass oo, because tomorrow you don't know how the scales will be.
So always be humble and pray for the best.
As we climb we need to try to not feel too big around people. This is life and anything can happen.
Sure, we don't know what tomorrow holds

We all pray for success but we also have to make it a prayer point that the success does not change us.
Yes ooo, may God help us not to forget our root and to also stay humble when success reach. Thanks for sharing.
