What do you think of go getters?

Question

Is being a go getter a bad thing?I think its good but some people seem to treat them negitivly and try to stop them. I am a go getter but I am also a nice and kind person. So why so some people just seem to see bad in people with the go getter attitude

Answer 1

The problem with SOME go-getters is that they go and get what they want at the expense of other people. That's a bad thing. Other than that, someone who is ambitious and works hard to make things happen, nothing wrong with that. So if someone sees that as a negative way of living your life, well, maybe the problem is theirs, not yours.

Answer 2

It's awesome, if everybody was that outspoken, and driven to get what they want, the World would be a better place.



Because everybody would be BUILDING UP, instead of 'jockeying for position'.



That's also why people are scared, it's much 'saver' to keep emphasizing what you DON'T want, than to actual go get what you DO want.



Because Go-Getting is about putting it on the line, and expecting to win.



Basically it's fear, that makes them negative towards you, if they just seem scared, you can tell them to join you, and you'll help them get what they want too, if they're really toxic, crush them(sad, but some people simply won't participate in anything positive).

Answer 3

People are jealous and the more you rise the more they will try to bring you down. Then again, if you stay down, they will just kick you, so you might as well rise up. You have to reject the negativity that people will try to bring to you. Understand that they are just trying to manipulate you and get you to doubt yourself. People tend to be insecure and your achievements will shine light on their inabilities. Not everyone is like this, so choose wisely who you allow into your circle of friends. They should be secure people who support and encourage you.

Answer 4

Maybe they're just afraid that you are willing to step all over them to get what you want. Either that, or they're jealous and want to bring you down to their level so you don't achieve as much. Remove those negative people in your life and surround yourself with people who are happy and encouraging of you getting the best. Those who want to tear you down and refuse to see you successful are just insecure about themselves and not worth wasting time on. Hope this is what you mean. :)
