Tip of the Day #2018-06-18 Don’t make people jealous on purpose.

 Don’t make people jealous on purpose.

Before telling you the secret behind, how this simple tip can help you. Let me tell you a story.

There was a  boy named "Steve"  On this birthday he told his parents-

“I want a brand new iPhone 10”I was about to turn 20, and my father had just asked what I wanted for my birthday. He looked surprised by the answer.
“Why would you want that?”
“So I can show that it college and make everyone jealous.”

But instead of sharing in my wonderful daydream, my father took a long, deep breath, pinched the bridge of his nose, and set a hand on my shoulder.
“Steve,” he said after a long moment, “Why would you ever want someone to be envious of you?”
“Why wouldn’t I? It shows I’m successful. It shows I’m popular!”
He took another deep breath.
“When somebody envies you, that’s not a good thing. Envy means they’ll think bad thoughts about you. They’ll want you to trip and fall. They’ll root against you. They’ll cheer if you fail instead of helping you out.”
He looked straight into my eyes. “Do you understand what I’m trying to say, Steve? That envy will only bring bad things your way?”
I like to think that I nodded then, but I probably didn’t. Mostly, I was just confused and angry that my father didn’t want me to look like a cool guy.
It took me a few days to fully process his words. By the time my birthday came around, I had finally understood. I didn’t get that IPhone — and I didn’t care. In fact, I don’t even remember what gift I got that year. All I remember is that moment and those parting words of his.

“Don’t make people jealous on purpose.”

So, remember this and follow this simple but helpful advice.
