Competition

I wonder why is it that you are at some point in your career that you start noticing that there are some people who are extremely competitive and the most interesting part is that they won’t be happy with their achievements and improvements but with your failures.
Some people could say it is competition. Well, I think these attitudes like arrogance, individualism, envy and jealousy are the typical qualities for that kind of people. They’re not just interested in having great notes, they seem to want you to be stuck in the career, so the rest of people applause them and congratulate them. It would be like the more I’m doing better, the more I want you to get worse. They seem to be constantly looking for approval and if they would have the opportunity of making you disappear, they will do it. But don’t get me wrong with what I’m saying. I’m not like them. I don’t envy them. If they are going well, it’s fine and if they’re not going so well…what can I say?...it’s not the end of the world and I’m pretty sure they will do it better next time.
The thing is that this kind of attitudes makes me feel pity for some of them because I think their lives may be too empty and meaningless if they give too much importance to the things I mentioned before. There must be something missing in their lives to be so shallow…don’t you think?
