Ruthlessness: The world of Business.

"In order to survive the hunted must become the hunters"

The business world is a tough industry however it is a part of everyone's life. Unlike on the middle-class working levels (office workers, brick layers, taxi drivers), where hard work and long hours are rewarded, in the Corporate world, the only way to be successful is ruthlessness.
In order to move up the ladder, three criteria have to be met:

1. You prove that you have outgrown your position. You take on extra responsibilities before you get the promotion, this shows the employer that you are ready to take on the extra tasks and take the initiative.
2. You are willing to let go of the friendship you have with your colleagues. They are no longer your friends. They are now people who by standards of hierarchy, follow your instructions. You are in no way allowed to use your emotions to make decisions when it comes to subordinates. Even a single irrational decision will cost you all the respect you have worked for.
3. Stay focused on your goal. A weak person will not adapt their milestones according to the goal they have in mind but instead they will continue struggling and achieve nothing. Weak people will believe that breaking your main goal into smaller simpler tasks is giving up. This is not the case.

CEO's are in their position because of one reason: they never let go of their dream. Even if for a brief moment it may seem as though they have changed their goals to achieve less, in the long run, those people are the ones that have overcome their fear of failure.

The world of Business is ruled by people who have the flare to push through anything they come across. The first step to jumping onto the bandwagon is to accept that in order to become a CEO, you have to outsmart one. You cannot become one unless you have used a CEO's own thought pattern against him or her.

The principle is simple. In order to excel above others, have them judge you. People with normal abilities narrow their judgement to only their own. The fact that you are asking people for their opinion on your flaws means that you have already surpassed them.

You will come across many people but one thing they all have in common is their weakness when it comes to the 'colleagues' who are more determined than they are, these kind people will analyse you in order to find anything they can put you down with. This information is of utmost value. Accept the harsh down-talk of your 'colleagues' and use their advice to excel yourself above and beyond.

The path of success is a lonely and long walk. Enjoy the silence.
