While someone can get ahead initially with bullshit, eventually people will see through their lies. Yet, I believe at the end of the day, truth prevails. “Fake it till you make it,” as they often say. For many online business and internet marketing coaches, it’s common for them to hugely exaggerate their ability and results, get lots of customers and money this way, and then achieve the very success and wealth they bragged about having at the start. I’ve faced such people in the corporate world and in the coaching industry, and it’s frustrating to see these people sometimes, for the reasons shared above. Or someone who gets promoted or makes it to the top because he takes credit for others’ work and exaggerates his role in everything. Someone who gets more customers because he inflates what his product can do. Many times, these bullshitters soar ahead because it’s simply easier to climb to the top when you lie.įor example, someone who gets the job because he lies about skills he doesn’t have. It’s frustrating dealing with such people, because while they easily get ahead with their lies and exaggeration, we have to work extremely hard just to achieve the same with truth and ability. Maybe the person is doing very well - earning lots of money, highly successful, and famous, thanks to his/her bullshit. Maybe this person is from your workplace or in your industry. Maybe you are dealing with such a person right now. Have you ever met someone who bullshits? I’m sure you have. Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there. This was when a farmer saw him, dashed into the farmhouse, emerged with a shotgun, and shot the bird right out of the tree. And similarly for the third day.įinally, on the fourth day, he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. The bird pecked at some dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree. “Well, why don’t you nibble on some of my droppings?” replied the bull. “I would love to get to the top of yonder tree,” sighed the bird, “but I ain’t got the energy.” Have you heard of the story of bullshit before? It goes like this:Ī bird was standing in a field chatting with a bull.
