The misery of Belinda's success!

As I listened to some sequences from the Deputy Prime Minister's recitation in the Assembly, I recognized the special and invisible tragedy that is experienced only in high offices, even on bright screens: the tragedy of a successful but miserable man.

Belinda, who got everything she prayed for, the dream job, the title, the benefits, the applause, seemed like an empty shell walking through a success that only seemed perfect in her words and recitation.

The woman who smiles in photos, shakes hands at conferences, and is sung to at inaugurations, is not 'forgiven' for her success, even after such hard-fought victories.

My generation, growing up between two eras, somewhere along the way, some of us mistakenly learned to equate productivity with purpose and visibility with value. We rushed to significant achievements because everyone else was running, assuming that the downward trend would bring fulfillment. 

In a world obsessed with the idea of ??'what comes next', they rarely ask 'what matters?'

They built CVs, not lives; they aimed for heights while losing their foundations; they accumulated credentials, but forgot to cultivate care.

But success in power has a feature that no one mentions: promotion, praise, profit, applause, come at the cost of losing sovereignty, freedom, or losing peace from the skeletons piled up in the closet.

Success in power is noisy, measured, compared, and judged, but I am certain that Belinda's success (or anyone else's in government) does not bother or bother anyone, neither in that hall nor outside it.

Because success is not a finish line; success is a mirror. It reflects what you have done along the way, and for the Deputy Prime Minister (with the open issues in SPAK), this reflection is unpleasant.

Such is life! One day, the applause fades, the headlines fall, and the historical moments blur in memory.

Therefore, success does not belong to those who are very well-known, but to those who are worthy of being known.'
