James: I heard that you are going to launch a new product.
Guess what then, the never ending process of self-pity starts
Martin: Yes.
James: And you think that this will make you rich and famous?
Martin: Maybe, but I am not focusing on that.
James: Then what is it? Why are you doing all this with your life?
Martin: I am not doing all this for money, it's very bad if you think so. I want to make a change in the living standards of people and I believe this product will help them to do so if they want so.
James: Shut up Martin! It won't make you famous.
Martin: Yeah, I can see that. I haven't even launched my product and you already knew about it.
ENVY:
Men to Men envy or what Yadhuvir Singh calls 'MENVY' is very common these days. You will see a hell lot of people criticizing others who want themselves to rise.
Here is a task for you. Whatever is your goal, tell that to your closest twenty friends. You will start observing a change in their behaviour. Although they might be appreciating you at your face but at your back, they are opening themselves up.
Envy is a feeling and every feeling conveys something. Envy means someone is afraid of something and if someone envy you then that means they are afraid of you.
SOLUTION: We people think that we are modern so our feelings are modern too but it's a lie. From the hunter-gatherer era, people use to envy the pack leader because he always stood for what he wanted but that what made him a leader.
So, keep doing what you are doing without any expectations.
MASTER NOTE: There is only one way to deal with envious nature of people and that is, don't take anything to heart, not even compliments.
People often take complements at heart due to which they always expect compliments from others and when they get criticized from those people, they take that on their heart too.
Guess what then, the never ending process of self-pity starts
You know what you are and you know what you are doing. You don't need others to tell you how well you are doing or how bad you are doing and even if they condemn you; just listen to them, nothing else. It's that simple. Just listen and don't qualify yourself.

A great personality once said, "Have big dreams and be so busy in pursuing them that you hesitate in telling small minded people."
