Debate is :

To be successful one has to be selfish.

depends...whether one wants to be successful for a short term or long term😊

Those who ready to take risk and do hardwork ..they will get success..but whos not selfish... 😃

Everyone is selfish (no offy meant) wonder why all are not successfull ?😕 perhaps depends of level of being selfish, adding some mix masala to what Gauri pointed out more selfish short term success... less selfish longer term success... long term sucesss = being sucessfull hmm mystery solved. 😆

There are two kinds of selfishness.. one which is being selfish because you feel others shouldnt get more than you or dont care attitude which is evident in buffets when most of these women run and scamper to get to the front of the line and fill out plates for the whole family as if the next instant would be a famine of sorts...😆, the other selfishness is cos you love yourself to much to acknowledge others..so this is something that is more directed within than without. The latter one almost always makes people successful.

You cant be successful if you are not selfish unless like most successful people.. you just happened to be in the right place at the right time.. 😉

You selfishness builds your attitude and makes you successful...

If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years.

Being selfish is part of life. One has to be selfish meaning take care of their business and not by hurting anyone. Nothing wrong in doing that IMHO.

We are not here to do charity all the time. CHarity begins at home. 😃

focus is key. selfishness provides that focus on self. cant be diluting focus by thinking of others. provided u wanna be successful. so next time u see something, try to figure out what's in it for u. if there's nothing in it for u, try to find a way to make sure there will be something in it for u. in other words, logon ko goli maaro, goli doh, goli khilao. but never lose focus 😛 😆 kidding 😊

It is called being one with oneself, not selfishness.
