Felix Dennis in his book has a quote related to committing to becoming rich
The people who suffer most are the ones closest to you
It's meant for family and friends
It also applies to an extent to your work colleagues
If you pursue excellence, people around you are going to get pulled along with you
Some of them will think you are a dick or a jerk or an asshole
You can't be nice to everyone
Even if you are, a fraction of people will still think you're a dick
Now take that same person and give them success
People suddenly have TWO reasons to think they are a dick
A) They are more focused than you
B) They are more successful than you
*
I don't ever see people complaining about someone they are more successful than, but almost always about people who did better than them
