'' Now, this is not a bad thing. I am not one to eat myself up about other people's success, for i admire it but nothing stops me from doing my own innovation as well.''

Thats the secret to a successsful life here on earth earth . The Bible says.

Ecclesiastics 4 vs 4

*''And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.''

1 Corinthians 3 vs 3

*''You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?' '

1 Corinthians 13 vs 4

''Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.''

A really wonderful post @surpassinggoogle, this part where you wrote about not to being jealous of others really touched my heart.

But judging yourself based on others’ metrics also has a very dark side.

Most of the time, when we compare ourselves to others—whether in business or life—we have little to no context around the actually metrics we’re comparing against.

We see our peers being more successful than we are. And rather than see the reasons why, we simply see the massive chasm between us.

Rather than positive emotions and motivations, we get filled with jealousy, hopelessness and self-doubt; the symptoms of growth envy.

And worst of all, it can be truly depressing. When you spend your time thinking about other people’s milestones, it can make your own road feel much, much longer. Like what you’ve accomplished isn’t actually worth a damn.

In a world where most of us are already fighting a tough battle that promises to drag on for a very long time, that’s a crushing blow to your psyche.

Let's turn from thus today. Let's learn to celebrate other people's success and learn from them so that we too can be successful. Thank you, and God bless.
