Corruption is definitely not "necessary" for success in any sphere. It is only something which is easy. Since it is easy, many weak-minded, lazy, or cowardly individuals fall prey to its temptation. Although such immoral or illegal behaviour may lead to immediate short-term gains, in the long run it only leads to the downfall of the individual.

Not only that, if corruption becomes widespread, it eats into the fabric of the society or the environment in which it operates. Thus, widespread corruption in every field will not lead to success but, on the contrary, will guarantee failure, chaos, pain, and suffering for the society as a whole.

So, that means you support 99% of the politicians who misuse their political power for their petty vested interests at the cost of the people of our country. You support those corrupt officials who tamper with evidence and help criminals get away after committing heinous crimes like murder and rape. You support cheap individuals who aldulterate food and cheat the common man at the cost of his health. You support nepotism and not merit or hard-work. You support thousands of such individuals who get a fake MBBS degree and play with the lives of innocent people. You support such people who open unlawful private educational institutions and cheat poor people after sucking out the little money that they have. These small examples are just the tip of the iceberg.

When you are making a strong statement like that, I suggest you to please give it a little more thought. When you say that you believe that curruption is necessary, you are spitting on the laws of the country; you are undermining the value of ethics; and you are missing the big picture altogether. Just imagine if most people on earth were corrupt (thinking that corruption was necessary)? What would happen? Anarchy and utter chaos. This is because no one would do his task or duty as he is supposed to do it. No one will be able to trust anyone anymore. Nobody will be responsible anymore. Our society is still functioning essentially because most people on earth are still responsible and good. The day this gets reversed, our human society will crumble to pieces.

Think about it.

Hello sowmya, I think you are strongly protesting my statement.

You cannot name any person as a corrupted person without knowing about an uncorrupted person.Gandhiji is great because of britishes only.If there was no british person you might not here the name of gandhiji.

In a movie one person will be named as hero because he will be fighting against the evil(corruption).In one word, what is the meaning of success?............Reaching the goal or destiny against all odds.So that odd is necessary for you to be named as a successful person.In this topic that odd is Corruption.

It seems, you have misunderstood the topic. The topic here means: is it necessary to use illegal or immoral ways in every or any sphere to climb the ladder of success?

Hi Everyone...

I would never agree to that say...

Anything is possible by anyone...Success never depends on anything else other than the individual's ability...Corruption can never aid mankind in anyway to pluck the fruits of success...

The only way and the best way to eradicate corruption is to instill tonnes and tonnes of moral values and to make them aware of the significance of hardwork...

"The only place where success comes before work is the dictionary..."

Its not whether u are corrupt or not, its how much and whether u show it or not... cos i m sure that everybody in this world is corrupt in one way or the other... Be it buying tickets in black, or giving a 50 Rs note to a policeman to avoid ur licence being taken away or anything else...

Everyone is corrupt, its only a matter of how much and whether u show it or not... At times, lot of people even dont realise it... cos its normal for them and they think its not corruption...

Using a reference to get a job is also corruption in its own way... hence i wud say that u cannot measure whether u succeeded with or without corruption as there is no definite definition of corruption... its person specific...

Take for eg our politicians, they are all corrupt but some of them show it and some dont... I personally like Laloo Yadav even when we all know he is corrupt... Cos he works hard and produces result... All we want is results, whether they come thru corruption or not is secondary...

Success is success... Be it with corruption or without, unless and until u are not harming a person its all a fair game as everyone plays it and no one is non corrupt...

In my opinion its not the corruption that helps someone in rising , it is the hard work and luck that matters but u can say that it give a small lift towards progress but when u see that u are getting good results u become habitual of this. But had u ever thought this thing that are u able to answer ur inner voice that whatever u are doing is right or wrong? since we know that corruption is main disease that had infected punjab to a great extent . so in my opinion as far as possible corrupt decsions in everyday life itself should be avoided as far as possible.........
