success and value

"Try not to become a man of success, but rather to become a man of value."

Success is very important to people, it satisfies people's vanity, makes people respect you, and makes you full of confidence.
But in the end, you will gradually become sober and disgusted. You will find that the kindness of others towards you is just because you cater to the needs of others. In other words, lose yourself.
You give up your open mouth, you give up your rebelliousness, you give up your self-knowledge of things, you even kneel.
You no longer write what you like and let others tamper with the already hypocritical articles.
You start catering to your bosses, your customers, calling them brothers, and pretending to be good friends.
Then you put on Armani, you put on Omega, and you're sitting in a very stately venue. This is success.

However, the beauties around you are willing to sleep with you, but you are not willing to give him your favorite ring.
The so-called famous people show respect for you, but you secretly scolded him for being virtuous.
Money, fame and fortune, all of them, but you just can't get back the feeling of that morning dancing with an ordinary country girl who is sloppy, doesn't wear makeup, and only immerses herself in her novels.
Oh, that's happiness, that's the value of life.
Then, you suddenly remembered your father's admonition.
It turns out that success and value are so contradictory!
