Crabs(螃蟹) are very interesting creatures. If you put several of them in a bucket, the moment one of them starts crawling out, the other crabs will pull him back down. So none of the crabs ever in getting out. They just keep stopping each other from climbing higher than the rest of them. We humans are more like crabs than we think. We try to get even with our enemies, and ahead of our . But we have to realize that "when we're green with envy(嫉妒 ) , we're also ripe for problems".
Whether we admit it or not, most of us want other people to be just a little less successful than we are. Friends are always about your success, as long as you're not more successful than they are ! But one of the first secrets to success is not to compare your life with others. It's strange that many of us seem to know to live everybody else's lives but our own. Even though what happens in someone else's life has to do with ours.
Successful people look at life through a telescope and see how great it can be, jealous people look at life through a microscope and only see the faults and mistakes of others. Being jealous of others is just a slow way of suicide (自杀) that will both your health and happiness.
You have a special and personality that no one else has. So use yours the best way possible. Stop comparing yourself with others. Birds don't . Pigs don't climb trees. And crabs don't fly. Enjoy your own natural abilities and develop your own style.

When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, to send greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting.
My small hands could get the mail without using a key! I could never to see how much I was getting. Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.
After my family moved back to Singapore, I going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we up to enjoy a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, a small caught our attention. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China sign.
We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe we were at the highest point of the mountain. I picked one postcard out and asked my friends to write a birthday note. We bought a stamp, wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard. Three weeks later, I arrived home and my mailbox. Hello, postcard! I broke into a big smile.
That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office. I had the post office all these years. Today I send postcards to friends. And every time I am at the post office buying stamps, I cannot help but smile—how one postcard will make its way across the world and brighten up someone’s day.
