I have a friend Natasha, who is truly amazing. She seems to live to help and provide for others. She loves to cook, host parties and is always there when you need her. Her goal in life: to become a mother (of all sons mind you) and feed them. And that got me thinking. (No, I am not planning to reproduce anytime).
Natasha's goal is plain and simple; to provide for others. My goal is completely different; to become a substantial journalist working at a really cool place like the New York Times. So who's goal better? That answer is neither one. It's co-dependent relationship. I could never gain confidence in myself and my writing, if it weren't for people like Natasha pushing me and encouraging me along the way. At the same time, Natasha needs people to care for. People like Natasha are in everyone's lives in the form of friends, mothers, aunts, uncles, fathers, you name it.
So who's really running this world, those you rise to the top, or those who were there for them and helping every step of the way. The people that do best with power, often aren't the ones to seek it. Think about that.
