We have all experienced jealousy at
some point in our lives. Have you ever
felt just a little bit jealous of your friend's popularity? Do you never ever
feel the tiniest bit annoyed when your
parents make a fuss of your sister's
accomplishments? And how did you
feel when your best friend invited
another friend to the cinema
instead of you? Don't worry if
you have at times felt jealous:
jealousy is not only a normal
feeling, it can also be
positive! The origin of the
word itself is a clue: jealousy
comes from the Greek
word zelos, the desire
to do as well or better
than another person. It
can encourage you to
become as good as
those you admire so
much.
So, make jealousy
work for you:
. Watch those you
admire. If you're jealous
of your friend's superb tennis
playing, watch him/her and try to
improve yours.
• Develop your own qualities.
Your friend has such long, straight hair
that she could be in a shampoo
advertisement! Yours is short and curly. TRADUCERE!! VA ROG FRUMOS!!​
