when you're winning, it makes them feel like they're losing or, worse yet, that maybe they should've tried to do something too, but now it's too late. And since they didn't, they want to stop you. You can't let them.
Mindy Kaling's book "Why Not Me?" explores the challenges and insecurities that often accompany success. She asserts that achieving one's goals can evoke jealousy in others, leading them to feel inadequate or regretful about missed opportunities. This emotional response can drive people to sabotage the success of those they perceive as rivals.
Kaling emphasizes the importance of resilience in the face of such negativity. She encourages readers to persist and not allow the jealousy or criticism of others to derail their ambitions, reminding them that maintaining focus on personal goals is crucial for success. Ultimately, believing in oneself and not yielding to external pressures is key to thriving in a competitive environment.
