You can! Nothing is impossible!

Chapter 14: Jealousy

We often feel proud of even our darkest desires,

but no one has the courage to admit

that they harbor envy. — Francois duc de La Rochefoucauld

************************

Obviously, people who are envious

and malicious can never have peace of mind,

for that jealousy

and malice are always gnawing at their minds.

People who fail often don’t want to see other people succeed.

I have noticed that successful people often speak well

of other successful people;

and they have an attitude of wanting to learn from others rather

than being jealous.

In contrast, unsuccessful people often try to find ways

to criticize or disparage successful people.

Even when they can’t find any bad points in the work

that successful people achieve,

they will dig for traces in other areas.

They clearly show malice

and that proves they do not know

how to use their minds properly,

and therefore,

they can never be at peace. — Napoleon Hill

************************

Jealousy means being annoyed at the good fortune

and success of others.

While successful people always see

and learn the good qualities of others,

unsuccessful people fail to do so.

They do not want to talk about the success of others,

and always find ways to disparage and lower them.

They let envy,

jealousy,

and feelings of inferiority gnaw at their minds day after day.

Envy not only makes people feel tired

but also limits the development of each person.

Jealousy causes us to waste time

and not be able to use our full potential to get what we want.

Being jealous of other people’s success will cause us

to lose our own chances of success.

Nature created man in difference and equality.

You need to realize that you are unique

and there can never be anyone exactly like you,

both in appearance and personality.

So, instead of being jealous of other people’s success and luck,

focus your whole mind on your dreams and plans,

and try to fulfill them thoroughly.

Be proud of your difference

and rejoice at the luck

and success of those around you.

That joy will give wings to your happiness

and sooner or later,

you will also achieve success like them.

Ask yourself if what you’re doing today is getting you closer

to where you want to be tomorrow. ― Paulo Coelho
