Do you think it is necessary for one pay bribe or be corrupted for success. As we know the corruption prevails in every country. Most of them has to pay bribe in order to check his/her file by the officials and by this they became very successful person in terms of money or education. If they didn't do it they will be as they are. What do you think abut this statement.?

Success ought to be won by hard work and merit. But yes, corruption is in every country. It is more obvious in some countries, but it exists everywhere. If one wants to be really successful politically, he might indeed have to do some illegal activities under the table. That may or may not include paying a bribe. It is unfortunate but it is part of reality. I believe that as long as there is humanity, there will be corruption in one form or another.

Yes.as long as there is humanity,there will be corruption. Corruption is a long-term historical issue,and it will be a long-term future problem. What the global governments need to do is just to control prevailing.

if your are referring to the type of success you've mentioned, then corruption is indeed needed for such success.

well yes, i think it happens to most places. even the church is not spared from this!! its really worst how the world has become... we see people who can choose to do good and be known because of that instead do the worst you could imagine... and you would think why would they want that.. why would they want to feed their family with such shameful deeds... hay...

There are cleaner ways to do things and this includes getting your way up the ladder in politics. You should be able to harness the skill on socializing because when you indulge yourself in politics, you have to more or less be a socialite at it. You have to make lots of connections with other people. All these doesn't mean you have to be corrupted. It sounds bad at first but in reality, it's just making friends. It's not using them either because you have the choice to repay them later.
