Success and humbleness should always be moving like the wheels of a car. Without one, the other gets bottlenecked too badly. After conquering something we desire, we shouldn't forget where we came from, the journey, and the others who are on the way. Some people really mess up with these things and end up with inappropriate stuff. There is also another tendency to give back what we received on our way, obviously the good ones, but a few get arrogant with time, which backfires in the long run.
Skills, dedication, and an insane level of hard work kinda mentality is present in a person whom I would like to refer to as Mr. X, but he is very arrogant. Trust me, the way he works is completely insane; no one would doubt about success if any of the followers could devote themself to work like him. To him, the clock moves for 48 hours; he would work for twenty to thirty hours straight, as much as he can, and then go to sleep for an indefinite time. In short, he is a beast and acts like that too.
When someone is at the peak of success, many people try to follow them, follow their ideologies, and take them as an idol. As there goes a saying, "With great power comes great responsibility." One should act like that; anything misleading can have irreparable effects too on the followers. It may not be directly, but indirectly, the blame is on the preacher. Personal thoughts are always appreciated, but when there are people to follow us, we gotta be careful about what we preach; not everyone is the same, and while doing so, we gotta consider the mass audience.
He preaches something exceptional that worked for him and inspired others to do the same, and that is a massive step; the success rate is very low, and only insane hard workers like him can achieve it, perhaps. "Exceptions can't be an example" is what all the followers should keep in mind; he is an exceptional case.
So the community leaders try to counter him on public platforms whenever they can. Still, there are a few blind followers who might be digging their own graves. The fun fact is the community arranged a podcast to make him face the mass public and hear him speak face to face; that will be an epic one as things might change after this episode. But yeah, whatever we say or do out there, it's always on us about whom we are following or how blind we are while walking on someone's shown path.
That's indeed beyond the imagination.
To honest I don't think following others is the smart idea at least I don't follow anyone because I love to make rule by own for me because I know me better than anyone. I know which is best for me. So why I need to follow others??
Yeah, we are the best mentor for ourselves but there are still a few things where we stumble and need help by following how others get past them. That's it.
