Quote of the Day #149: They'll Ignore You Until They Need You!

in quoteoftheday •  7 years ago 

Always put your best foot forward!

Sometimes the road to victory can be slow, lonely, and uneventful. You often notice that as you gain traction towards success, the people that were once around as friends, acquaintances, or colleagues, are now scarce and nowhere to be found. These same folks may have been patting you on the back and feeding your ego when you just got rolling, and once you warped up a couple of levels, BOOM, they’re gone.

This happens very often and is a common theme with people. Human nature generally rejects what it can’t understand and can’t control, so these folks see something that they are no longer in front of and they run for the hills. The times when you may even reach out to catch up and shoot the shit, you will most likely get ignored and that is a good sign.

If you are not getting ignored, laughed at and criticized for your approach and course of action, you are doing it all wrong. When nobody is ignoring your rise and your ascent, then you need to make sure that they do by rearranging some stuff. Don’t worry, these same fools that don’t have a minute for you now, will come back in droves when they need your new found levels of success to help elevate them in their endeavors.

This quote of the day reminds me of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer! He was ignored until he was needed. :-) Good series of posts.

Haha @kenny-crane, nice one and oh so true!

It is a good quote humans are creatures of nature in general sometimes the response depends on how much utility you do provide for them.

Wow, thanks for the concept. Good one, It's true.
This was happening to me today and I lost my cool again. I will remember what you wrote here.

It's not necessarily a pleasant experience, but it helps open the eyes to what's going on. I'm glad the concept got through @ba-boo, thanks for the comment.

Sounds familiar!

Just another part of life @lakshmi!
