๐๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐จ๐๐ก ๐๐ฌ๐๐ข๐ once said, there is a difference between โGrowth, Progress & Successโ. He said โฆ
When you are chasing materialistic things, running behind collecting expensive possessions, stretching yourself to get that extra increment or promotion, position and bonuses, and actually getting it, then you are definitely accomplishing ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐. You did everything needed to reach the top of the mountain. Doesnโt matter if you used helicopter to do so, or any other means.
If you are reaching your target by hook OR crook, you are growing, but not progressing. When you choose Ethics, Integrity and Discipline as your core values to Grow, then you are doing a ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. Progress in the right direction, in a right way.
Then what is ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐? When you progress keeping humanity, morality and spirituality in mind, you are actually becoming successful. You get utmost satisfaction when you actually achieve it. You can Grow, you can Progress every year, but if you are not happy, you are not enjoying the journey, you cannot call yourself successful, even after you reach your destination in ethical way.
No wonder, we see lot of dissatisfied persons around us, who keep crying even after growing their business to new heights every year. Even after getting promotions in shortest possible time. Even after getting highest increment compared to their colleagues and peers.
