49. What is success for Carlos
Slim?
Success is not to do
things well or very well and obtain recognition from others;
it is not an external opinion, it is an internal well
being. It is harmony of the soul and its emotions that
needs love, family, friendship, authenticity, and
integrity. (Letter to Youth. June
1994)
Note:
Letter to young people. June 1994
Carlos Slim, in a letter
to the university community, gives advise to the most
outstanding students on what, in his opinión, are the most
important things in life. Mexico City, June 1994
I write to you this letter in
order to share some of my life experiences, hoping it will
contribute to your education, your way of thinking and living,
your emotional well-being, your sense of responsibility to
yourselves and to others, your maturity, and above all, to your
happiness, which should be the result of your daily existence.
You are privileged within
society due to your talents and efforts, and for the best
reason, your own worth.
Success is not about doing
things well or even very well, or being acknowledged by others.
It is not an external opinion, but rather an internal status.
It is the harmony between the soul and your emotions, which
requires love, family, friendship, authenticity and integrity.
To be as exceptional as you
are is a privilege, but it also entails many risks that can have
an impact on values that are much more important than
professional, economic, social or political “success”.
Emotional strength and stability are in the interior life, and
in avoiding emotions that erode the soul such as envy, jealousy,
arrogance, lust, selfishness, vengeance, greed and laziness,
which are a poison that is ingested little by little.
When you give, do not expect
to receive. “Fragrance clings to the hand that gives the rose,”
says a Chinese proverb. Do not allow negative feelings and
emotions to control your mind. Emotional harm does not come
from others; it is conceived and developed within ourselves.
Do not mix up your values or
betray your principles. Life’s road is very long, but it is
traveled fast. Live the present intensely and fully, do not let
the past be a burden, and let the future be an incentive. Each
person forges his or her own destiny and it may influence
reality. Do not ignore it.
Live with positive feelings
and emotions such as love, friendship, loyalty, courage, joy,
good humor, enthusiasm, peace, serenity, patience, trust,
tolerance, prudence and responsibility. Do not allow their
opposites to invade your soul, may they pass quickly from your
mind, do not allow them to stay there, banish them. You will
make mistakes many times, it is normal and human; but try to
make them small, then accept, correct and forget them. Do not be
obsessed by them; heaven and hell are within us. What is most
valuable in life does not cost anything but is very precious:
love, friendship, nature and what man has been able to achieve
with it; the forms, colors, sounds, smells that we perceive with
our senses can only be appreciated when we are emotionally
awake.
Live without fear and guilt;
fear is the worst feeling men can have, it weakens them,
inhibits action and depresses them. Guilt is a tremendous
burden in our lives, the way we think and act. Guilt and fear
make the present difficult and obstruct the future. To fight
them, let us have good sense and accept ourselves as we are,
with our realities, our merits and our sorrows.
Staying occupied displaces
preoccupation and problems, and when we face our problems, they
disappear. Thus, they make us stronger every day. We should
learn from failure, and successes should be silent incentives.
Act always as your conscience dictates, because it never lies.
Fear and guilt will then be minimal. Do not block yourself in,
do not ruin your life, live it with intelligence, with soul and
senses aware and on the alert; get to know their manifestations
and train yourselves to appreciate and enjoy life.
Work well done is not only a
responsibility to yourselves and society; it is also an
emotional need.
At the end we depart with
nothing, we leave behind only our work, family and friends, and,
perhaps, a positive influence which we have planted.
My very best wishes,
Carlos Slim Helú | |
