What They Tell You About

They tell you that you should strive for success,

That it is the key to happiness.

They say that you should work hard,

And that you should never give up.

But they don't tell you about the sacrifices you will have to make,

Or the challenges you will have to face.

They don't tell you about the times when you will feel like giving up,

Or the times when you will doubt yourself.

But most of all, they don't tell you that success is not always what it seems.

That it can be empty and unsatisfying,

And that it can come at a great price.

So, before you set out on the path to success,

Make sure you know what you're getting yourself into.

Because success is not always what it seems.

It is important to remember that success is not the only measure of a person's worth.

There are many other things that are important in life, such as family, friends, and personal fulfillment.

Don't let the pursuit of success become the only focus of your life.

Take time to enjoy the journey, and don't be afraid to take risks.

Success will come when it's meant to.
