SangFroid Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Killer Topic…I found it too hard Society’s external rewards are no measure of the success. True success can be measured only in relation to the goals one sets for oneself The contemporary society is not so easy to comprehend as it really seems to be. It is an intricate cobweb of various types of people in their respective arena.; whether it be in political field, humanity or in science. Both types of people are in extant ; in every field, good and bad , demagogue and chauvinist , sticklers and also charlatans. Such a society ; sometimes deliberately; flaunt the things which are spurious and try to hide among bourgeois the real facts or in some cases, the society lacks behind in genuinely assaying the works and contribution of a person. We often see nowadays ; some universities granting highly coveted awards to some high class people like princess, king and other political leaders.Few years back, university of Oxford gave some awards to one of the Kings while he was on his visit to London. Neither had he spent any moment in the Univ. of Oxford in his life, nor did he rationally seem to be worth for it. There are some cases in history, wherein the contemporary society couldn’t regard the value of the person and his contribution remained unnoticed in desolate state for a long time. It is, then later, with the passage of time that and after society’s acknowledgement, such persons are treated as celebrity and their efforts rewarded. Such cases have occurred in the history a myriad of times and in some cases even after their posthumus. Contributions to the society by various people like Florence Nightanble, Archimedes, Thomas Alva Edision and many more were never rewarded in a brandish fashion. Yet though not rewarded, they are successful in their mission and it is with many hindrances and hurdles throughout their path of life, they have succeded ultimately in achieving their goals. Strong dedication and determination have led them to the apex of popularity and success rather than the rewards of the society. A reward is, no doubt an incentive for perpetuation of one’s good deeds & success. But, if one is not rewarded doesn’t necessarily mean that his contribution and effort are futile and of no value. Sometimes the society couldn’t understand its hidden nuggets and lacks behind to assay its value. Success is the achievement of one’s goal and though it is not weighed wisely by the current realm; if it be really fruitful to the human society as a whole; it will no doubt be reckoned someday in near future. sorry posted in wrong forum i am shiftin to correct one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
