Meng Meihui,14,from Dongying, Shandong, loved reading certain pieces of work. But she paid particular attention to her classmate' s every composition, just to find her faults.
" Everyone said she was better at writing than me. I didn' t believe it. I wanted to beat her," Meng said. Meng was caught by the green-eyed monster-jealousy(嫉妒)
Jealousy is 1 among students. Most people may feel a little bit unhappy when others are better than them. It' s natural. However, if students don' t change theirs mindset(思维方式)and deal with it well, jealousy can bring out many problems.
Su Lulu, 14, from Xiamen, Fujian, said those who are too jealous of others might lose 2 easily. " Few people like those who always try to find faults in others," Su said. " A popular student should be open-minded. "
Besides affecting students' interpersonal(人际间的)relationships, jealousy may also limit students' development.
Meng said that during that time, she paid too much attention to her competitor(竞争者)and 3 to improve herself. " It was tiring and useless," she said.
Luckily, Meng 4 realized the problem. She stopped her silly behavior and focused on her own progress.
Wang Xiao, a psychology(心理学)teacher at Huangshi Foreign Language School, Hubei, agreed with Meng' s practice. Wang said the best way to deal with jealousy is to turn it into motivation(动力)
" 5 those who are better than you and focus on yourself, " Wang said. " It' s more important to improve yourself than to be better than others. "
Wang also suggested that students be confident about themselves. " Everyone has their advantages and disadvantages. Don' t 6 your disadvantages with others' advantages," he said.
