Over these years in my growth process, I have been deliberate about resisting the urge of becoming jealous when I find or meet with people who do better than I do in any aspect of life. One of the means I usually employ to fight off the feeling of jealousy is genuinely appreciate and celebrate people who are always ahead of me. In so many instances, I will buy them good gifts just to have them teach me all it will cost me to be like them. This has been my most effective method and I have seen it work out for me many times.
It is of no use to be jealous of another person's success or achievement, it will only deprive you of learning. All through my academic career, I have always had people who are more academically intelligent than I am. I remember approaching one of those students to seek help when what I read did not come out in the examination. That meeting I had with him brought about a positive turnaround in my academic performance because I had learnt how to study strategically for exams at the end of that meeting I had with him.
Jealousy will do you no good other than making you become stunted in your growth process. if you truly desire to see yourself grow, do all you can to get rid of the spirit of jealousy. Don't allow it to consume you.
