El éxito, según Victor Hugo



“El éxito es una cosa bastante fea. Su falso parecido con el mérito engaña a los hombres. Para la multitud, el triunfo tienen casi el mismo rostro que la supremacía. El triunfo, este sosia del talento, tiene una víctima a quien engaña: la Historia. Juvenal y Tácito son los únicos que de él murmuran. En nuestros días, ha entrado de sirviente en casa del éxito una filosofía casi oficial, que lleva la librea de su amo y hace oficios de lacayo en la antecámara. Tened éxito: tal es la teoría. Prosperidad supone capacidad. Ganad a la lotería y sois un hombre hábil. Quien triunfa es venerado. Naced de pie, todo consiste en esto. Tened suerte y tendréis el resto; sed felices y os creerán grandes. Aparte de cinco o seis excepciones inmensas, que son la luz del siglo, la admiración contemporánea no es sino una miopía. Se toma lo dorado por oro. No importa ser advenedizo, si se llega primero. El vulgo es un viejo Narciso que se adora a sí mismo, y que aplaude todo lo que es vulgar. Esa facultad enorme, por la cual un hombre es Moisés, Esquilo, Dante, Miguel Ángel o Napoleón. La multitud la concede por aclamación a quien alcanza su fin, sea quien fuere. Que un notario se transforme en diputado; que un falso Corneill haga el Tiridate; que un eunuco llegue a poseer un harén; que un militar adocenado gane por casualidad la batalla decisiva de una época; que un boticario invente las suelas de cartón para el ejército del Sambre-et-Meuse y acumule, con el cartón vendido por cuero, una fortuna de cuatrocientos mil francos; que un buhonero se case con la usura, y que tenga de ella por hijos siete u ocho millones de los cuales él es el padre y ella la madre; que un predicador llegue, con su gangueo, a ser obispo; que un intendente de buena casa al salir del servicio sea tan rico que se le haga ministro de Hacienda; no importa: los hombres llaman Genio a esto, los mismo que llaman Belleza ala figura de Mousqueton, y Majestad a la tiesura de Claudio. Confunden con las constelaciones del abismo las huellas estrelladas que dejan en el cieno blando de un lodazal las patas de gansos.
Víctor Hugo "Los Miserables"

El éxito, según Groucho Marx:

"El secreto del éxito se encuentra en la sinceridad y la honestidad. Si eres capaz de simular eso, lo tienes hecho".

Landahlauts dijo...

Cada vez más nos parecemos a los cuervos que se deslumbran por el latón o cualquier objeto brillante. Hemos dejado de buscar en las personas lo que las hace brillantes realmente y nos dejamos encandilar por brillos chabacanos.

José Manuel Martínez Sánchez dijo...

Estupendo texto. Lo he leído disfrutando. Muy adecuado para los tiempos que corren donde el éxito es la única meta, a cuesta de lo que sea, incluso de la moral y la ética. Triste pero cierto. Saludos.

Anónimo dijo...

Las tentaciones que sufrió el galilego en el desierto representan una sóla cosa: alcanzar el triunfo. Para eso es necesario tener tres ansias: el ansia de dinero, el ansia de poder y el ansia de figurar. ¿Verdad que nos resulta familiar el contenido de ese ofrecimiento? Eso está por escrito en los textos de la Buena Noticia desde hace unos dos mil años. Lo que hace Victor Hugo es impregnar esas ideas y reflexiones con el color, el aroma y la textura de la buena literatura. Y tú Lola, continuando con la obligación de los privilegiados, pones en conocimiento de los demás esas hermosas líneas, lo que denota que estás con los que sufren en la vida, con los que siempre salen derrotados en todas las intentonas. Los que triunfan siempre tienen una explicación, ellos se lo merecen. Los poderosos creen que les pertenece hasta la ley de la gravedad (la gravedad de la ley también), porque ellos en la vida no caen, a lo sumo, se tiran, como diría Rafael Amor.
Un saludo y esta noche hablamos.

LOLA GRACIA dijo...

Más claro;: Me hace mucha gracia y no le faltaba tampoco razón a MARX...Hay gente con una capacidad de simulación increíble.

Landalhauts...si yo te contara..La gente está loca. Paga un dineral por ir a un bar de copas porque saben que allí se encontrarán con alguno de GH. Es tristísimo.

Anónimo. Es cierto que soy una privilegiada. De nada me puedo quejar aunque siempre quiere uno más...Reconozco que soy ambiciosa pero no me mueve ni el afán de figurar, ni el dinero ni, por supuesto, el poder. Me mueve el aprender y hacer cosas que me llenen...Aunque, claro, luego hay que pagar las facturas.
Sobre todo...Quiero que me quieran. No me da pudor el reconocerlo. Tengo unas demandas de cariño insaciables, ja,ja..
Estoy con los que sufren porque he sufrido y sufro, claro. Y pienso que el que mucho lo intenta, en alguna ocasión sale del campo de batalla con la cabeza bien alta.

El detective amaestrado dijo...

Al final, nos damos cuenta de que llevamos cometiendo los errores igual que hace siglos. Ay, los advenedizos de la fama...

Landahlauts dijo...

¿Quién no quiere que le quieran?

almayer dijo...

pues me temo que últimamente llueven muchos de esos hilillos de mentiras...

Sintagma in Blue dijo...

Si V. Hugo levantara la cabeza...

Rafael dijo...

..se toparía con Bisbal :P

LOLA GRACIA dijo...

Hombre, Bisbal a mi no me desagrada demasiado creo que hay ejemplos de ese éxito de purpurina más evidentes y más penosos

Todo, incluso el éxito depende de nuestros genes y el medio donde se expresen (época, ciudad, familia...).

La posibilidad de tener o no éxito se encuentra en nuestra estructura cerebral, y es hereditaria.

Todos heredamos capacidades para tener éxito, solo tenemos que nacer en el sitio adecuado a la hora correcta.

¿Habría tenido éxito Bill Gates de haber nacido en Australia hace 100 años?.

LOLA GRACIA dijo...

Aboutness, te veo un poco negativo. Creo que en algunos puntos uno puede intentar ser fiel a sí mismo...Cierto que es muy comoplicado mantener nobles ideales cuando tiene que pagar las facturas...pero algo siempre se puede hacer...En cualquier caso, creo que nuestras manos está intentar no malvivir, sino, símplemente, vivir

LOLA GRACIA dijo...

Otro comentario aboutness...Precisamente porque era tan grande Víctor Hugo, supo ver a los que no tenían tanta suerte como él y relativizar su propio éxito. Creo que las grandes personas son conscientes de que en el éxito coinciden muchas variables y que no se lo merecen por ser ellos quienes son.

Anónimo dijo...

¿Se acabaron las ideas? ¿Dónde están hoy los intelectuales que nos permiten parar y pensar acerca de nuestro mundo que nos consume y que consumimos con frenesí? Es increíble tener que recordar a los grandes de otras épocas para reflexionar. Hoy cada uno está en la suya, la lucha es individual y el precio es la soledad del blog.

5. Do not eat anything after 9pm. Calories do not burn, when you eat so late.
6. Have a proper sleep everyday. Not getting plenty sleep has been verified to be a ranking element to the body storing excess fat.

Finally, realize that all the various bookmakers have their own rules and policies regarding how they settle bets done through arbitrage sports betting when they have such irregular results. As with the advice on pricing, be sure to check the rules of the individual bookmakers before you place your bets.

Following the philosophy of pyramiding, what happens in this system is that you place a bet and if you come out a winner you re-invest the winnings on the next wager. So in horse racing, for example, you simply let it ride. Also, unlike the other betting systems, the Parlay System offers a lower amount of risk of all bettors for because they only need be concerned with a win, place or show selection or a combination thereof.

Switching a service located outside of the United States it not hard to do. In fact it is quite easy since there are many quality services to choose from. The most difficult thing that you will need to do is find the one that best suits your needs.

If you are employing neither of those two elements, then the risk you run of eventually losing your entire Base Bank is 99.99%. On the other hand, employing only a good Selection System would not only reduce your risk closer to just 10% maximum, you would also have up to a 10% chance of making money. This would mean that the Bookies would suddenly be faced with a 10% possibility of losing to you long-term, rather than a 99.99% certainty of taking your money from you. Throw in a proper Staking Plan on top of that, and you will have increased your chances of winning to as high as 20%.

After that goal, there was no way back for Real Madrid. The team, already lackluster in the second half, didn’t fight anymore. In fact, Madrid was lucky the French didn’t score again, as the team had more opportunities at the end. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]real madrid official website[/url] In the match against Zaragoza, Real Madrid dominated the game from the first minute, coming close to scoring at minute 2 when Cristiano Ronaldo missed a clear option after goalkeeper Roberto Jimenez cleared the shot from the Portuguese. Minutes later, the Whites kept control of the ball while Real Zaragoza was trying to close the spaces and the opportunities for the Meringues in their area.

Real Madrid’s next game will be against Xerez at the Municipal de Chapín Stadium on February 13th, whereas Espanyol will face Deportivo La Coruna at home on February 14th. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]karim benzema[/url] Prior to the game, Ronaldo promised that he would return the goals Messi converted on Tuesday for Barcelona, but the Real Madrid player was short one goal.

Finding the right sports books and bookmakers to use for your arbitrage sports betting can be a daunting task with the internet now they are everywhere. The list of crooked bookmaking sites that have helped part people with their money and robbed them of their winnings grows longer every day. Being enlightened about this all sports bettors should do their due diligence before signing up with any bookmaker and be sure of their reputation as well as their guarantees on return of winnings. Almost all sports betting sites will have reviews so read them before making your decision on which one you go with.

Nonetheless, the reality of the matter is this: if you don't have a Selection System that is sound in every respect, then you are just as badly off as if you had no Selection System at all! And even if you find a good tipster service, you must still exercise a great deal of caution in making your final selections and look carefully at their success rate for the specific type of tips they are offering. If you fail to do this, then you can be certain of one thing: you will lose all your money somewhere down the road!
