Please remove one of my eyes

Often we can secretly jealous of other people's luck. Although we might congratulate him/her, we can sometimes feel envy and wish those good things happen to us as well. So before our eyes turn green, lets read the following story.

Once upon a time, a man prayed for God. God answered him, saying: "From now on, I can satisfy all your needs and desires on one condition: I must grant all your wishes twice better to your neighbour."

Then the man started to think - if I get a box of gold, that poor man living next to me will get two boxes. If I get a real beautiful lady as my wife, then that brat will get two pretty ladies.

He got quite angry after thinking and therefore told God: "Oh Your Mighty God! Please remove one of my eyes!"


** This world is so big. Everybody has enough space to live. Someone's luck does not mean other's lost.

We live our own life. We walk our own path. Other people can never steal away our luck and similarly, they also can never take our lost. So why bother to feel envy?

We might admire someone's achievement and wish it will happened to us as well. But instead of staying where we are, why don't we start to put effort so we can walk the same path as them? Lets start to walk on our own path to success from tomorrow on!
