Been There, Done What?

In this world, there are two kinds of people.
The first one are the achievers.
The second one are the whiners.
The achievers are the kind of people who would do anything to reach the top.
For them being first means everything.
Getting ranked second or below isn't acceptable.
They put all their efforts, overcome hardships, sacrifice few things, etc. in their pursuit of excellence.
They don't back-down and if they are going to lose, they don't do it without putting up a strong fight.
The case is totally different with the whiners.
The whiners are the ones who don't put in any effort to reach the top.
In fact, they've pretty much given up chasing it, without even taking the first step.
Their minds are made up with the fact that they are gonna lose, and that's what happens in the end.
And then they start whining.
The people they hate: The Achievers.
The only reason being, that they are achievers.
They aren't alone.
It takes one to start whining and then before you know it almost all are.
Always citing things like, 'the achiever was shown favoritism', or that 'the achiever comes from a family of means' or that 'the achiever possibly "bribed" the authorities to reach the top'.
They aren't afraid of voicing their opinion, cause they know some idiot will listen to them and believe their so called bullshit.
Sound stupid, right?
The scary part is that, these people exist in real life.
I'm not talking about school kids.
The ones I'm talking about are, people with actual jobs.
It also includes the ones who are unemployed.
If the whiners exist, so would the achievers right?
Yes, they do and despite the arrogance they show, when they're around, it completely changes to something else at work.
These kinds of people are incredible and unfortunately they are rare.
You might have one working in your company or it could possibly be you.
But if you know them, it's better to start learning from them, if you too hope of becoming like them.
In this blog, I'm not gonna talk much about the achievers, cause their work speaks for itself.
I'm calling out all those whiners, who didn't do shit to make their life better and now actively voice their opinions against the achievers.
Being the whiners they are, the things that they whine about doesn't necessarily has to be related to them in anyway.
It's just that, they want to take out the frustrations of their failures at others. 
Let's take the example of our nation's only sport according to them. Cricket.
Whenever India lost a match, despite giving their all, these whiners would be the first one to show up.
They'd pelt stones at the homes of these cricketers.
It didn't matter to them if they hurt any family members residing there.
They just had to do it.
They'd also burn their effigies to show how much they hate them.
Make tall claims as to how better they are at playing that sport than the ones playing it.
To them it was as if losing a game was equal to committing a heinous crime.
And if India won the next game, they would start making statues of the players and start worshiping them.
What a bunch of hypocrites. 
If any of these whiners had to spend a day training like the sportsmen do, I doubt any of them would last the entire day.
They'd simply give up or state that it's not their job.
Meanwhile, the Indian Cricket team would be busy preparing for their next game.
Trying to rectify all the mistakes they made in the last match and perform better in the next.
That's what differentiates an achiever from a whiner.
This holds true in almost every situation.
Take Advertising for example.
In the advertising world, if you or your agency makes ads, that win almost each award out there and is loved by all, everyone would hold you in high regards.
You and your agency would be the talk everywhere.
Clients would beg you to make ads for them.
But.
But... If the next ad that you make fails to deliver, then that's it.
You might as well forget the invitations to the famous parties in town.
Cause no one will forget that ad and you.
The worst part is, everyone will know you by that ad.
It doesn't matter how great of an Ideator you are.
To them, you simply would look like an Idiot.
And there's nothing you can do about it.
Now coming to Politics.
I don't have an opinion about politicians of our country, because I don't follow them at all.
And I don't intend to do so in the future as well.
From what I've observed, the thing about politicians is that, good politicians don't come in groups.
There are certain exceptional individuals who are better.
But as individuals, they are powerless.
Even if they do have a strong hold over others, the voice of the whiners is loud enough to drown out any support they have.
It's a shame.Apart from the whiners, another worse lot are the criticizers.
They have one job and it's something that hardly takes them any effort to do.
Criticize.
I'm not talking about movie critics.
These special bunch of criticizers, only have hate for everything.
From criticizing the late arrival of public transport to population, education, pollution, etc.
Basically every cause that doesn't need their opinion.
They force it down the throats of everyone who gets their attention.If you ask them what have they done to make the situation better.
They probably won't have the answer to it.These are the people that compare how other countries are making themselves better and how ours isn't.
Hell, if they had the opportunity to make that country better, they would go there in a heartbeat.
Doing the same thing for our country would seem shameful to them.
The best thing one can do is to contribute.
Be it from social work or just show up at work.
Cause no matter what kind of work you do, it does have a positive impact on others.
Whether you repair shoes at a small shop or try to fix the economy at your high level job.
The results will show, even if they aren't immediate, even if it won't benefit you.
It will benefit someone, give them a better future to live in.
How else do you think we got our Independence?
Definitely not because of someone who was whining over why we aren't getting Independence.
But because someone was fighting hard, day and night to make it possible.
