There are two ways to build the tallest building:

1. You can put yourself out there, work hard and build something from the ground up

2. You go around and tear others down  

Unfortunately in my opinion the latter is the most commonly seen.

If you don’t agree with me, I suggest you go onto your favourite social media channel and look for someone who is out there trying their best to create a product, service or pursuing their dreams and you will find there is someone who wants to tear them down.

It’s unfortunate because, while there is an overwhelming majority of positive comments and praise, the negative things will always stick out and gain the most attention. I recently heard an interview where LeBron James was asked what advice he gave his son Lebron Jr regarding social media as he moves towards becoming a professional basketballer too… He said use it but don’t ever read the comments people leave…  

Now if this is the advice of one of the greatest basketball players of all time for his son what is the world coming to.

Successful people can be easier to pick on because it seems they have it all. Money, fame and success and surely this makes for enough immunity to the comments of the critics? Lebron doesn’t think so…

Complaining and trying to bring others down is for unexceptional people who don’t have anything to offer the world…

If you want success or to be heard in this world build the tallest building! Don’t tear others down!
