Yes, you read it right

The First and foremost thing is to remove the word “Jealous” from your head and on behalf of that adding “self-awareness”. Because in this modern Period no-one cares what you do or what you have or what you are going through? and maybe someone does care, remember they are just for some time and for their sake. The market doesn’t care if you are black, white, Indian, tall, short, bald or handicapped, they only want victory. So, start working on your dreams and not think of what society will think of you.

What Happens if you aren’t jealous of someone?
Let me question you, what happens if you stop comparing yourself with the persons who are better than you? You’ll be as you’re the best and you think you are “the master of all jack” and you’ll never make progress in anything because of your mentality, additionally, you will be as you were before a few years. The main thing is to compare yourself(to your mentors, not to the persons who are not as good as you’re).

Now, here I want to mention the most dominant thing to know before you start being self-aware, it is you should not be the envy of one’s who are less intelligent than you but being jealous of those who are more knowledgeable than you because that’s the thing which will drive you to grind harder than you were before. So, here I want to share one of my incidents that change my perspective towards “Topper” so, when I was in the primary school I was like let the toppers do their study, and I just want to live my life to the fullest. But when I came to the Higher secondary schooling I got that word “Jealous” and knew how important it is.

Being jealous of someone was like a sin in the 1950s but in this era being jealous is necessary according to me, but it is not jealous it is self-awareness. Because jealousy is also in the relationship or the brotherhood, or for the property. But in business or education, it should be like self-alert.
I’m not saying to focus on the winners and try to hurt them for your sake, my point of view is you should be in a circle of winners and try to be like them or above them but don’t ever be a jealous person who tries to hurt their opponents and never misses any chance to pull them down. You will better understand with this, let’s say you want to build the highest building in the town, you have 2 options,
1. Construct a building of your capability and break down all the building in the town and so your premises will be the tallest or
2. Try to learn from that tallest construction of how that was build and prepare your plan as well as analyze in detail and after few years came out with the tallest structure in the city.

I hope now you have a different perspective towards “Jealous”.
