Food for thought/Don't Hate, Congratulate !

Most of us don't want to work hard. We want success easy and quick. This behavious entails inability or laziness. And when a friend of yours gets success,  bitterness and resentment are the obvious outcomes.
Pride is the base where envious feelings take birth from. A simple solution is that one has to drop being imaptient and less hardworking. Never forgetting that hard work is the key to self-worth not getting frustrated about others' success.

In envious state of mind, you will go on degrading others to feel a bit relaxed. However, your inside is somewhere convinced that envy is wrong. Dig the feeling out and solve the situation from here. Kill your pride(ego) and congratulate your successful mate with a big real smile. Take your mate, colleague's success as an inspiration. Rid yourself of the root problems, laziness and selfishness. And enjoy the life for it's too short to waste on envy.
