The power of jealousy
One child was very clever from an early age.
Unfortunately, he was born in a poor mountain village, and he could hardly get any spiritual nutrition in his childhood.
He turned out the "selected works of Mao Zedong" at home, but he couldn't understand the dense Chinese characters at all. Instead, he read the small characters behind with relish, "Kuafu day by day", "Yugong moving mountains" and "Jingwei filling the sea". These ancient fairy tales fascinated him.
When he was nine years old, he borrowed a novel. He thought while reading it. When I grow up, I will also write a book and write a lot of books.
Because he is smart and studious, his grades are very excellent. He finished all the courses in a semester in a few weeks.
However, his character is so eccentric that his classmates alienate him and his teachers don't like him.
An important reason why they don't like him is that he has too good grades.
He didn't become a "three good" student once. In the teacher's cold eyes, he finished primary school.
In junior high school, he won the first prize in a composition competition and earned a dictionary.
It took him months to read it once and copy all the entries in his book.
He was crazy about writing. He wrote poetry and prose, transcribed them on paper and sent them out.
Most of these contributions are in the sea. Occasionally, he received a reply, which made him laugh and cry. The editor told him: you can't write so well at a young age. In the future, you should correct your attitude and don't copy other people's things and pretend to be your own! For nearly 20 years, only 1% of his works have been published, and the rest are at the bottom of the box.
He began to run around looking for a job that could support himself.
During the interview, he answered like a stream, and the boss of the company first appreciated him very much.
But the boss's face tightened when he came up with a lot of ideas.
In the competition of hundreds of people, he scored the best. It was because of his good performance that he was the first to be eliminated.
For many years, he often saw people's white eyes and more people's red eyes.
People's white eyes and red eyes planted the seeds of passion and self-confidence in his heart, making him feel that he has a power that ordinary people can't reach, which is better than all the praise and encouragement from the outside world.
This is the power of jealousy, and perhaps there is no greater recognition in the world than envy. In this recognition, he sees his position and value.
Many years later, the mediocre people are still mediocre, but they don't look at him with white eyes and red eyes.
Because he was recognized by more and more people, he put on a dress named "success" although it was cheap.
"If the whole world envies you, it proves that the whole world recognizes you and the whole world is completely defeated by you before you fight."
Looking back, he said calmly.
That child is me.
That child should be you, because you can often be encouraged by others, but I don't!
