Who would not want to be sucessfull..Its only funny that the successful ones say “I don’t care about being successful.. its the satisfaction that i get.. motivates me to move further”.. Howcome the same people don’t say the same words when things were not-so-successful-times…Belive and accept that every one aspires to be successful in their own genre of things .. and there is not need to feel guilty of being successful. After-all you are entitled to to fruits of your labor. (I am writing this article assuming that your success comes out of your legitimate – truthful – honest manner of working without any kind of backstabbing)
There are a certain category of people who might make you feel miserable for being the best and successful in the things you do.. Its these people you need to stay away from. . They not only make you feel quitly for being yourself…(oh!.. so you got the promotion.. congtrats.. but then.. that was a pretty easy project to do and you had ample time to complete it well before time).. but they also drain you of the motivating force …( oh!.. still on your desk.. working on another promotion is it ? ? )… surely you can do away with such comments and let some fresh air (productive ideas) into your mind.
Once in a while.. just sit back and watch a bunch of aspiring minds at work. If you feel.. its within your capacity to help them realize their dream.. then drop discreet ideas and suggestions.. that might help the person think and work towards his goal. This way you will spare him of the emotion to feel obliged to you.. and grant him the satisfaction of achieving his dreams in his own merit.
Sometime, when we taste the sweetness of success, the others would taste bitterness of
jealousy:)As you said, just avoid them.

To “avoid” such people st workplace may not be practically possible.. but you can tune your mind to flash a red alert when they talk to you.. so that all those talks are diverted right into the drain.. without straining your precious intellect
Avoid or ignore them.
Funny thing. When someone is jealous of you, it’s better for you.
