In our success driven world, we sometimes revel in comparisons
or judgments. We seem to think that discounting another's advances will somehow
make us feel better about ourselves. But life is not a pie with only so many
pieces. Celebrating the success of others takes us closer to and not further
from our own victory. When we invest attention and energy in the people around
us, their accomplishments become ours
and we are more likely to fully see and appreciate true greatness. So the next time a friend or an associate is
enjoying good fortune, you be the one to say, I am behind you and I am cheering
you on!
