Celebrate success so long as it has been earned fairly. We all benefit from a society in which success is rewarded. We need successful people in every dimension of life. Unfortunately, we sometimes feel resentful, jealous and envious of people more successful than us, and our dark side may wish to drag them down or punish them for their success. We need to stop that because it is neither healthy for us as individuals nor for society as a whole. In our schools, a culture of mediocrity and shaming those who work hard or successful is deeply toxic not only to those who strive to be successful but to those who choose the alternative life of victimhood, failure and mediocrity. Celebrate success. Reward success. Share the fruits.
