Amenda: oh...the education I got from family and school taught me that
never think too highly of yourself...so...I do never think too highly of myself

sometimes I like joking that's another kind of matter...

from the bottom of my heart...I know myself very well...I know bother of my long points and my short points very well


but what make me happy is that I do have very nice emails which like sweet rain to water my dry heart. I do thank God so much.

Called metaphorically speaking

Amenda: a famous saying here:

"You are envyed by others indicate you are excellent, you are a winner.

You envy others indicate you are incompetent, you are a loser."

I found myself always be envyed but the fact is that I'm not excellent. excellent person must can earn large money, I can't

Now the problem is clear:

1. I am not excellent but
2. I always be envyed

For the first question, not easy to change just like not easy to change an ugly man into handsome.

so could you pls tell me help me to slove the second one:how to avoid being envyed by others especially by those terrible person with hiding arrow.




I think your problem, as well as most psychological problems that people face in their everyday life relationships with people stems from the sentence I have high-lit above. when you start off your life taking as a fact that an excellent person is a person who can earn large amounts of money, then the rest of your life will be based on that assumption which in my eyes is a terrible mistake.
It's other things that make up an excellent person and I'm surprised that a person like you coming from China has already become so materialistic. Try not to copy westerners 100%.
If you look around, money hasn't made them any happier. dunno

Don't worry about being envied. That is their problem. Concentrate yourself on being the best you can, and be happy with who you are. Avoid vanity and boastfulness, and do not announce your successes.

You can't control how others will think. That is up to them, so stop worrying about it and simply live your life in the way that you desire.

Exactly!!

No matter how much money you have...you only have one stomach to eat at daytimes, only need one bed to sleep at night.

I think most people work maybe not only for money, they enjoy their work itself.
