Be So Good Others Keep Ignoring You
Be a garbageman, a dog and Shah Rukh Khan
When you are the best, you don’t need to be trained. You don’t need to be guided. You don’t need to be mentored.
You just need to be ignored. Because you are capable, yourself. Because you can think, yourself. Because you can make the right decision yourself. Because you know when to say no. Because you know you could be wrong too. Because you know you can always try, and that is a success.
I strive to become good at whatever I do, especially in my job — marketing and writing so that I can be ignored.
At our company, as a marketer, I strived to be so capable so that I don’t need other’s permission. So that people don’t wait for me. So that I can do whatever I want whenever I want. So that I don’t need to join daily scrum or have to mark a task done in my sprint goals. So that others trust me that I will finish what I say.
Be so capable, others keep ignoring you. That’s the goal. That’s true success. Work for it. Run after it. Strive at it.
It Takes One Step at a Time
To be good at something, you need to love whatever that is.
