Most of the people I have met believe that "popularity" is the most important thing in the world.
Technopark Beauty Queen, Employee Union president, maximum friends on Facebook, Filmfare award winner or how many people are waiting in line to see you ...
To all of you who are after this "popularity", please understand that popular is almost never a the sum total of your impact, or genius, or style/form. "Popularity" rarely reflects your guts, hard work or the confidence to lead people and projects(and the sense and understanding that you might go wrong along your way). It never shows what you have learnt (or unlearnt) in your motivated focus for achievement.
I accept that being popular (at least on one day) is a great way to get elected MLA or MP or Minister.
But in general, the search for popularity is high pressure and damaging because it corrupts your work, eats away at your focus and style of giving the best results and will surely make you compromise to please some anonymous people or public.
It is worth considering "what is the value" or symbolism of losing some election or some other popularity contests.
It might help if you understand that "Losing" these contests means or tells you that the opinion of some vague strangers is absolutely worthless. They don't know you, they're not interested in what you have to offer and you should discover that their rejection actually means nothing. It should empower you to even bigger things in the future...
When you understand this nonsense and start to focus on delighting an audience you truly care about, you will start to remove the power that the unknown public has on your mind. That is when you will really understand the meaning and power of "POPULAR".
