Never outshine he who illuminated your dark path

[EluguHcman]

It is necessary to remain loyal to those who mapped and engineered the foundation to that castle you are sitted on as a king in as much they do not tend to dethrone you nor devaluing your worth.
They would always know that secret pillar that holds the solidity of that mountain that had make you such a great man sighted in the great heel.

I brought this little tips up here because sometimes in life, once we have achieved some certain great heights, we usually feels that we have arrived to the point of independency with the guts of daring those whom had brought us that so far.
Some of us tends to turn vipers to those who had lead us so far simply because we have acquired all that required to dominate and possesses influences but I can tell you that.... Only one button can be keyed-in to ruin your efforts by he who masterminded that great man you are today.

Lesson: Loyalty fosters to promotion while disloyalty is toxic.

For me it is stupidity to bite the hand that feed you. Fighting someone who made you rise to the Pinnacle for no just cause is unwise. It is always said that don't break the ladder that you used to climb up, for it will be useful when you are climbing down. But let's not mistake loyalty for stupidity. Being loyal to your mentor doesn't mean that you are stupid. This doesn't mean that when your mentor say you should do something that's not morally unacceptable that you should go ahead and do it. This is were challenges comes up. You should be bold enough to say sir, this is morally wrong I can't do this, but mind you, your words should be carefully chosen. If he feels offended so be it, but don't abuse your master publicly no matter the difference between you two.

Totally agreed with you 7juju your point speak volume that is in my heart, but there are area I want to point out it's very bad to betray or outshine your master but certain instance need such betrayal. Allot happened in our environment where politicians uses boys acting as their master for dirty job at the end when the secret is to be revail they will bring in another to take your life and exonerated themself from such dangers of people knowing their identity, been found in situation that is taken your life in the name of protecting your master as not outshining or betraying him who has already denied you by send people after you just to save it's head from dying, I don't think such situations of protection or not outshining one master is Worthy to be practice.

Just as you use the word stupidity, defending such master in the name of not outshining is even worse than stupidity if there is a word greater than stupidity. Remember the painted senairo, the man that has the tugs is a master why the tugs is the boy and both are doing the same work as master and boy of which the job put food on their table I don't see investment of master on what is taken your life  mostly him is the one seeking after your life to be allowed instead one need find a way out  such outshining is not a bad one if you can succeed in his part.

If you remove the chair wey you take claim up that one mean say na suicide the person want go commit for there na. This one mean say for person to reach up there, you must get some help wey you don get wey make you reach there so e no go make sense say you go con begin treat those people bad because if you do that to someone wey dey bad him too fit try to press another button wey go carry the person come down.

Even if we no still get help to reach up there, maybe on our own effort, make we still dey nice to people around you. Some times self na aboki wey no even get level go press certain button wey go make person life change. So at all times we need to dey treat people nicely whether them dey around us or not.

Contentment and appreciating every little things is the opposite of biting the hand that feed you. Some people are so greedy that they do not think of others not even those who helped them achieve a greater height. Betrayals everywhere, most people then to look at things in a way that it only favours them and whatever blocks their way they will fight or try to take it down even if it's their mentor, I see this act mostly in Nigeria politics.

It's very bad to pay evil to the good hands that groomed you, I hate people with such nature because it makes one not to really help people anymore. For example, I did you good and you pay me with bad it will automatically be hard for me to help another person because it will become a fear in me that I can not longer help people but the only thing I can say here is if you have such attributes please put them away and be a grateful mind.

You dey right for wetin u just talk so, but make we also know say overtaking is allow o, e get some masters wey no dey allow their servants to pass them, dey just want them to just dey dey under dem, even wen their servants dey very loyal, dey serve them very well but yet if dey see say dey won outshine dem, dey go do everything to stop their glory from shining. So if na me, anybody wey no want mk I rise even if na them show me the road or make me dey wer I dey today and I no do dem anything but dem dey to block my success, dem go die, since i no offend dem but no mean we go dey misbehave if our masters dey do somehow for us, some dey just watch us to see how patient we dey, so mk we too dey very mindful of ourselves, because wetin dey really kill us now be say we too dey greedy and selfish because we won dey like our oga dem, nobody won be boy or servants, which e no make sense, we go start from somewhere before we go make am.

There's really no positive outcome in disloyalty especially to those ranks that cares and has contributed to your portfolios and careers.
It's likely to be a concept of challenge that you can actually build that ark by yourself just after you've been layed with the foundations to your success by those who're has been in the field before you.

This act of trying to outshine someone who made the narrow way broaded for you is potential to have you lost of all being laboured because you may not have the key to that foundation which has got you be what you're today.
