The truth is that however much I remind myself of the many wonderful things I have in my life, there are still moments when I look at those around me and feel bitterly upset by their success.It39。s a horrible thing to admit! In an ideal world, I39。d never want to be jealous of another person39。s achievements and I39。d want to celebrate the successes of my friends. But sometimes it39。s hard, even when we want to. But I don39。t want to live my life as a jealous cow, and I assume you don39。t either.It39。s easier to celebrate other people39。s wins if you celebrate your own. How often do we take the time to enjoy our success rather than instantly move onto the next thing we want to achieve? Last year, I decided to write a book. It was the only professional goal I set for myself and, while it tired me out, I got there. But as soon as it was done, I started planning my next goalmaking the book a success. As I saw other people publishing books, I stopped celebrating and instead began to fear that mine wouldn39。t pete.When I told a friend how I was feeling, she reminded me how much easier it is to clap for someone else when we also clap for ourselves. So, I took myself out for lunch, ordered a glass of wine and wrote myself a congratulations card. When I saw all those other books being written on my social media, I felt proud of each and every one of us who had battled to the end of the word count.The other trick for celebrating other people39。s success is to realize that there is no limit on success. We can make more, which means that while it might seem as if others have everything and we have nothing, the reality is that life turns quickly and our luck could change at any time. If others have achieved those things, we can too. When we celebrate others, we39。re acknowledging their achievements but also cheering for ourselves as well as for our hopes and dreams and our belief that we can make them happen. And hopefully, when we do, those people will cheer for us too.12. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. Social media is the source of the author39。s jealousy.B.
