Does success in life make a person sweeter or more bitter?

Hello Love! I think it All depends on the person, how they are at their core. Once a good hearted person has success, they think of how to give back. They Want to help others.But when a not so nice person makes it big , they just keep the money . Giving back Never cross their minds. I have never heard of n embittered Newly rich person in real life. The only character like this I know of is Scrooge! But I guess anything is possible. I guess if one works so hard to " make it" and when then one isn't any happier , one could become bitter.

It is only the upstarts would belong to the category where they behave in a way that they would want people to notice their success as hitherto they were not. And those that are failures will not relish other people's success. But there are exceptions to every rule.

I think it all depends on each individual. Some people let money go to their head and some don't. Some become more mellow and kinder and some turn into a totally different person.

Cant say.But i guess they can afford to be sweet and helping and charming.Unsuccessful people cant afford it.They have less to offer, also limited power to help others even if they are willing to do that.

i think it really depends on the person who experiences success and failure when i was younger and just had a taste of success, i found the world to be wondrous. when i hit rock bottom, i felt a great sense of despair, but i always trusted in my instincts and made my slow climb back again that feeling of wonder never ceases and the feeling of gratitude for success will never leave me some say i'm generous, some say i'm aloof i'd like to think i'm more helpful than most people

i think both success and failure can either make a person more positive, sweet and generous or the other way around, he may become more selfish and bitter. It all depends on the character of the individual and the experiences that lead him to either his success or failure. The mixture of the individual character in response to his experiences will determine whether he will become a better person or become a bitter person.

I think success or lack of success, or any extreme just enhances the natural attitude of a person. IF they are a kind person then their success or failure just brings that kindness to the surface. If they are naturally bitter, it becomes more evident when they are stressed. It think this is also something that is enhanced by illnesses as well.

Hi there, It can really be one or the other as I have seen both scenarios in reverse. I feel it really is up to the individual character of the person. For instance, tho I have been through so much in life I am still nice and caring. Sure a few bruises but I treat everyone exactly the same which route rich and or poor I could ever be. And yes I have been in circumstances in my life where I had loads of money, success and failure, so this is how I know, at least for me.

It depends on the person who handles success. There's a celebrity here in the Philippines, who used to help people. Giving all the prizes to poor when winning to a contest. However, after few years he changed to a very bad man. He had been suspended so many times and had been kicked out from his own show.

I think it depends on whatever personality was already there. An insecure and bitter person can become a bully. A shy, humble person can become very generous and grateful. Money doesn't determine character. Isn't it interesting that hardships rather than successes help a person become better??

Indeed they most likely will act sweet and be like that in nature butit depends i think because you have some who are raised in a strong family who are no sweet, and in the end when they become succesful act not nice towards other. But it depends so im happy im always sweet and have succes :)

Hmmmmm a little confusion? What exactly meant by successfull people according to you? Let me put my visions forward. The people who have succeeded in life likes of Mahathma Gandhi,Nelson Mandela, Jhon F Kennedy and many more. I dont think These People will show any kind of arrogance in there behaviour. Even before success or after success. To be true the non Arrogant and Down to earth behaviour of these people itself have made them greater and successfull in there Life. When it comes to people who are successfull in other cases like in Business, Sports. It is really difficult to say who can be arrogant. But one thing is sure if these people behave non arrogantly and down to earth. These people also can be listed in above category of the Successfull people in there life
