Why Hate When You Should Congratulate

Why is it so hard for some people to applaud others' successes? It seems that no matter how positive something is, or how well someone is doing, there's always that person who manages to shine a negative light on it. These people just never have anything nice to say about anything or anyone.



"The secret of being miserable is to have the leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not. The cure is occupation." ~George Bernard Shaw



One should find inspiration and motivation in the success of their peers. We all have it in us to do great things, so be happy for those who've attained success. Instead of talking about them, try picking their brain for positive feedback and information that could only help you get to where you want to be. Only miserable people who don't know their worth and have too much time on their hands find fault in everything and everyone around them. Remember, it takes more energy to down-talk someone than it does to congratulate them.
