Section 5 Know that jealousy turns into motivation

Previous Chapter

There is a famous saying: "The thinking of the weak is jealousy, and the way out of the strong is competition." "When we compare ourselves to others, why don't we change our way of thinking? Change the negative attitude into a positive attitude, change jealousy into competition, then it will inevitably burst out of a very big motivation, and a more exciting scene will be performed on the stage of life.

A philosopher once said that comparing oneself with others is the act of a coward, and comparing oneself with oneself is a hero. This sentence is difficult to understand at first glance, but if you taste it carefully, it also has its truth. The reason why some people are jealous is because they are competitive, always want to get ahead, and are not willing to be left behind; At the same time, they lack the necessary self-confidence and willpower to make progress. Under the domination of this self-contradictory psychology, he is always unconvinced and resentful of those who surpass him, and even uses improper means to slander and slander the envied.

A and B are two girls of the same age, both students at an art school, and live in the same dormitory. Soon after entering school, the two of them became inseparable good friends. Little A is lively and cheerful, and Little B is introverted and taciturn. In the study, people pay more attention to Xiao A. Little B gradually feels like an ugly duckling, but Xiao A is like a beautiful princess, and she thinks that Xiao A is better than herself everywhere and takes up all the scenery, because of this, Xiao 8's psychology is gradually unbalanced, and a jealousy is strongly breeding. She often treats Xiao A coldly.

In the third year of college, Xiao A participated in the fashion design competition organized by the college and won the first prize. The two of them finally turned against each other because of this incident.

If you look at others better than yourself, you have to say that you are not jealous or blushing, which is a lie. The key is what to do when your eyes are red? A good person will kick himself angrily and run a few more steps to catch up with the one in front of him. And a bad guy will kick someone in front of him with a trick. It would not be too difficult to use that intelligence to oneself, to kick oneself in jealousy, and to work hard to catch up with the one in front of you.

In the early 80s of the 20th century, Lehman Brothers, one of the oldest and most well-funded investment banks on Wall Street in the United States, made record profits for five consecutive years. Reaching an unprecedented peak. With Lyman Peterson in charge of foreign affairs and Glaxman in charge of the company's internal management, they worked closely together to lead the company, which led the company to prosperity and soon became at the forefront of its peers. Graksman was brought up by Peterson, and what Peterson valued was Graxman's bold and resolute action, and Graksman also reciprocated with peach. The two of them are as close as brothers, and they do their best for the development of the company.

But unfortunately, a small bit of anger later ruined the huge company. The reason is simply due to one lunch. On one occasion, a dignitary invited Peterson to lunch, and Peterson suggested that Gracksman, who had just been promoted to general manager eight weeks earlier, be brought in. At the luncheon, Peterson had a good time with each other, while Graksman was left out in the cold. Because he was too junior to interject, Glacsman was greatly irritated, and he was furious, believing that Peterson had done this on purpose in order to make him make a public fool. He thought hatefully, and at the same time confirmed his ridiculous thought: "I'm going to drive him away!" ”

Since then, Graksman has been eating all day long, whining, consciously or unconsciously, complaining that he has no real power. Side-knock side-attack on Peterson. After Peterson stepped down as chairman, Glucksman took control of the company. But his anger was then transferred to several of the company's other shareholders. A few months later, several of the company's partners had left, and the company was distracted.

In the autumn of l983, bad luck finally struck, and the profits of the Lehmann company fell sharply, and the company faced difficulties. The American financial giant Rapid Transit offered to buy Lyman. Graksman was reluctant to sell the company, but he was powerless. The fate of the acquisition of Lyman was ruined by the jealousy of Glaxman.

If a jealous person does not wake up, he will be like Graksman, and the future will not be good. If you adjust yourself, turn jealousy into a motivation for competition, and then evaluate yourself objectively, so as to find out the gaps and try to catch up, it is the right way.

A moral person, a person with pure thoughts, and a person who can be positive and enterprising, when he finds that someone is better than himself and more capable than himself, he never thinks about whether others surpass him, or is dissatisfied with others, but finds out his own gap from others' achievements, so as to cheer up and learn from others. In this way, it is possible to burst out of creativity in a positive and enterprising state of mind, and catch up with or surpass those who were once better than themselves, which is what the ancients said about seeing the wise and thinking together, that is, we say that flower jealousy is power.

Only by turning jealousy into motivation can a person catch up with others, make his life more perfect, and surpass himself.

Jealousy can make a person unhappy, but this is some weak people in life, but if you can convert yourself reasonably, don't waste time complaining about the external environment, and don't waste your energy on slandering others, you can turn jealousy into anger.
