Reason to stop hating people who appear to be far more successful than you

[King.]

I stopped posting pictures on my FB of shit too flashy because some people would always get butthurt over it. Some people are happy to see their friends do well, and others hate it. The hard part is figuring out who your real friends are.

I don't understand why some people are like this, why the fuck would you alienate and push away a friend who's doing well from yourself.

You miss the point. Those who are jealous of your success aren't your friends and by this convention you hardly have 1-2 friends.

#8 is the best line on there IMO.

I have a different sort of problem. I look up to people like Li Ka Shing (Asia's richest man), Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and even Kim Dotcom. I never envy people who are richer than me, and that includes people I know personally. I take notes and get inspired instead.

I also respect the people who I consider my equals and I also respect the up and commers who I think have huge potential. Unclehappy is an example of a newbie who I respect. He's got balls to quit his job and do IM full time. His optimism is fantastic.

But I love to pick on the people who I consider lamers too. Sometimes not everyone agrees on who I pick on though. So it can either be a hit or a huge miss.

Anyways number 7 from that list has always been a big one for me. On one hand I'm pretty satisfied with how things have turned out for me so far business wise, but on the other hand I always want to continue improve and learn from past mistakes.
