Competition

"Man is by nature competitive, combative, ambitious, jealous, envious, and vengeful" Artur Keith

As per my point of view, being jealous of someone is good up to a certain extent as it keep you motivating and working hard but kinda competition should be healthy. You should not take it up to an extent that you stop considering other things in your life valuable. Maintain a healthy relationship with friends and foes.

Desire to be like others

"It is better to be an outspoken atheist than a hypocrite" George Harrison

In every walk of our life we see successful people around us and we are influenced by their Aura and we desire to be like them, attract other people like them. It is a good thing if we consider it in a positive way but the other way around we could also end up being hypocrite. And if this feeling gets in your way you start getting jealous of people around you. George Harrison has truly said that it is better to be outspoken atheist than a hypocrite.
