Resolve to emulate those who do better than yourself and earn equal appreciation. Strive to acquire knowledge, wisdom and success that you aspire, righteously. That is the real ambition. Instead, if you wish for the downfall of others who are successful, that very intent reveals your brutish nature. It will lead you to perdition for sure. Praising oneself and condemning others are also as deadly as envy. Attempting to hide one’s meanness and wickedness, wearing the mask of goodness, justifying one’s faults and exaggerating one’s attainments — these are also definitely poisonous traits. Equally poisonous is the habit of ignoring the good in others and assiduously seeking only their faults. Never speak words that demean anyone. When we are friendly with someone and like them, whatever they do is certain to strike us as good. When the wind changes and the same person is disliked, even the good they do feels wrongful to us. Both these reactions are not commendable!
