Be Bold Stay Real at BlogAdda
“Reality is sometimes just an illusion”
In the world where success is synonymous is with wealth,
power and position the biggest challenge in itself becomes staying real. “Do I
just tow the line and wear the mask? so that I get that next promotion?”. The option
in itself is not just lucrative but far easier as well; becoming a clone of the
“stereotypical corporate executive” and being one of the favourites will lead
to that big raise, that coveted big car, that well decorated house in the most

On the other hand is the tag of “being yourself”, do I stay
real?? Do I question those activities that are not in line with my thought
process? Do I say what’s on my mind and earn the wrath of my superiors? And this
leads to being labelled as strong headed, not a team member, arrogant. And you
are met with cold stares, labelling as an average performer, somebody to whom

observe the different parameters of success. Is being bold and staying real
actually difficult, the answer is an emphatic yes, specially in the way today’s
corporate environment is manufactured. Its manufactured to have yes men, moving
higher up the ladder, its does not value free thinking, contradiction and
debate.
Yet, at the end of the day if you don’t feel satisfied, if
things that you wanted to say are still inside you, if you never show your
disagreement you are not successful, being successful is not about the show but
its about that satisfaction that you are still you, with that distinct identity
even if in the eyes of the masses you are a failure, you are behind your batch
mates, at least you have the satisfaction of being yourself. .of being real…
