“I know something you don’t know!” If you have a brother or sister, you may heard this phrase sung in a very annoying voice over and over and over. (And, if you don’t know what I’m talking about, consider yourself lucky.) This is

I like #6 ... Being envious of other people's success just takes the focus off of creating your own. I find that it usually happens when we get jealous of a strength someone has that just might not be one of our own. Instead we should be focusing on how we can be better at what we're good at. And not figuring out how we can beat someone else at a game we were never meant to play.

And nobody is indispensible. All your knowledge hoarding could be for naught.
