“Competition breeds envy. Envy makes yourself your own enemy. Envy's catty cousin is schadenfreude which means taking pleasure in the suffering of others. When we derive joy from other people's failures, we're holding our houses and pride on the rocky foundation of someone else's imperfection or bad luck. That is not steady ground. When we find ourselves judging others, we should take note. It's a signal that our minds are tricking us into thinking we're moving forward when in truth, we are stuck.”
