Once in a blue moon, I receive emails or domain offers that justify their existence as such:<\/p>\n
“I’m the man. I’m numero uno. I’m successful. I’m the best of the best, pheer me.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Ok, bro, I get it.<\/p>\n
In a nutshell, you’re just another condescending prick.<\/p>\n
No one truly successful will attempt to flaunt their parts like a whore at an Amsterdam red light district window.<\/p>\n
I’m all for constructive, productive analysis of what led a person to being successful, I will listen to their stories and will appreciate the lessons that they share.<\/p>\n
But as part of an inquiry that went south because I did not accept their lousy offer, “Successfully” is a signature attempting to include everything while achieving nothing for me.<\/p>\n
Out of curiosity, I managed to locate the bio of the person who urged me to sell a domain at their price. “Be reasonable”, he exclaimed, waving a number to my face.<\/p>\n
I understand that for a person that overcame a ghetto life and became a chef and a “self-taught marketing guru” – not my words – success is measured in dollars and bling.<\/p>\n
The best part of such incidents is that they become fodder for blog posts such as this one, describing how rotten “successful” individuals can be.<\/p>\n
It’s not how others treat you, it’s how you treat others – that’s how a man is measured.<\/em><\/p>\n
