Is ruthlessness vital for success ? I wouldn't know.I have never been a go-getter...
Have always been propelled by the fear of losing ..as opposed to the will to win ...Would that will to succeed involve a certain degree of nonchalance towards our passions ?Sure ..some people can manage both ... but for folks like me .... (less brainy ones,lazy ones ) ... the word success accompanies with itself the baggage of giving up on the what i've been doing all my life .A forced change into an unfamiliar daily routine.
I want to change ...want to let go... want to be different ... But as S .Frued said people don't really want to to have freedom..because freedom brings with itself responsibilities.Is it those fear of responsibilities that has really been holding the real me back all my life ?
Some people are innately born with this desire to succeed ...no matter what it takes.
Others prefer to live in the comfort zone and not strive for it and appease themselves with the false consolation that in the larger scheme of things nothing matters ..success is relative and one only needs to be contended with themselves because man's desire for greater things will never stop .
Who is right ?

Whoever is right...depends on the eye that is seeing it...somebody once said...it does not matter whether you win or lose...i say that the person who said this probably lost...there are two kinds of people who fail...one who says that it's ok...just a part and parcel of life..the other one says...no...this is not done...i will win...just wait for the next time...the second group of people are the ones who actually go on to win...
Personally....I think every person cannot be a go-getter type...And the degree of commitment varies with attitude..Nothing wrong in being a little laid back in your outlook as long as long you are happy with your life....what you want truly is what you get...and every person hides his/her fear of failure....I think its the single most important force that drives us....I try as I don't like failure....But as always failure is also defined individually...
Do we breathe voluntarily?
... well I feel that instead of beating others think of beating your best record. This ensures a sense of constant self improvement as well as self motivation.
