It's the price of success: people start to think you're omni

Summary

This quote suggests that when someone becomes successful, others may begin to perceive them as all-powerful or capable of anything. Success often leads to a certain level of admiration and respect from others, which can sometimes create an unrealistic image of the individual. However, this perception may not align with reality, as success does not equate to omnipotence or invincibility. The quote indicates that this misconception can be a consequence of achieving success and highlights the potential burdens and expectations placed upon successful individuals.
