How to build a skyscraper?

This article discusses philosophy of success and wealth.

United we stand, divided we fall. - Groups

Groups are everywhere. If you look at animal Kingdom there are plenty of examples. You just have to watch a couple of documentaries about killer whales. When they hunt for seal, killer whales work in groups to break the thin ice and make the poor seal fall into the water.

If you look at a pack of wild dogs, they will work in a group to bring down a prey larger than any individual dog. Yet these wilder beasts cannot escape when they are bitten by 40 dogs at the same time. I do not have to give you more examples, but I can give a list of animals. Consider ants, consider fish, consider buffaloes and crows. Although there are so many solitary animals, we cannot deny that animals in groups are more futuristic than animals who live solo. Nature has cracked the code for success it seems, as groups help persistence and survival.

I consider myself an introvert. And from early life chose to be isolated. I didn't want to participate in any group activity. Not voluntarily and did not try to avoid them either. Yet I had a strong belief that my values are important and that is what matters the most in the world. And that was a big mistake. If I can go back to my former self and teach something about life I would teach myself the importance of being in a group. Or more importantly why you should focus on forming groups.

How to build a skyscraper

Let's look at some common examples. If you walk in the city, any city for that matter, you will see skyscrapers. Sometimes I look at them, stare at them and my mind goes "wooow". Isn't it incredible achievement of human beings. I often wonder how these gigantic skyscrapers were built. Was it engineering? Electricity? Steel industry? And who build them in the first place? I compared my wealth. If I collected all the money from my 8 to 5 jobs working my a** off till I die still my wealth would not be comparable to 1/50th of cost of one of the gigantic pillars of one world trade center. It made me feel pathetic and think more. And that is the truth for 99.999999 people on the planet earth. Except for Jeff Bezos. Mark Zuckerberg and Elon musk, nobody can build a skyscraper alone by their accumulated wealth. Yet I am sure these latter individuals would not do that just because they can. As they know that the way to create these enormous structures and moving marvels is by groups.

Behind every skyscraper, a gigantic ship, or a monumental dam, there is a group. Sometimes we call it a government, sometimes we call it a company, sometimes we call it a Facebook community or a YouTube channel. But when we consider incredible work, except for artists, it's done by a group. You cannot have a billion dollars in your bank and go and build a skyscraper by scratch. First thing still, is you need to create a group.

Construction Group

Let's build a skyscraper.

Now you can create a skyscraper by above method, by accumulating capital and form a group to create a one for you. Or you can go the other way. Create a group and then try to attract capital and expertise to build a skyscraper. I don't say it's going to be easy. First you will need to create some extraordinary thoughts in your head which has enormous value for something and convince a group of people to share these values. I am not sure how and why you are going to do that. I am just a philosopher. I just think helpful things for my selfish existence. Yet, side effect of this process makes me understand the rich and poor as well.

I need you to do something about it. Once you formed your group and formulate its values. Let me know and convince me to join! (sell me) Let's build a skyscraper together!
