In our minds, we are pissed off. How can they elevate the standards so high, so high that we are excluded, it must be selfish of them and in fact wicked. They are saying that we are not fit to be their friends, etc, etc. We spend so much energy trying to analyse and sometimes even dare to dictate to others what standards they should keep and maintain so we can fit in, I think with respect, it is a flawed way of thinking about the situation. It is a manner of thinking about the situation that may never solve of problems, our inadequacy.The government may set standards and regulations about how we ought t conduct our affairs in the public, but it will hardly, rarely and barely concern itself with the regulation of personal and private life, except those private actions that have or bring about public consequences. As such, each one of us has the power to make Rules and Regulations for the Admission of Persons into our lives, it is not in your capacity to cry when someone chooses to set his as high as the Eiffel towerFinally, instead of dying of envy, jealousy or resulting in character assassination, what you may do is spend time climbing the ladder of life, that you may become relevant to those you wish to dine and wine with. This is the hard part and most of us will rather squirm and cry-fowl. The rules of the game was set by nature, quitting, is a choice too.","author":"Magnus Nwagu Amudi","tags":["blame","envy","growth","hardwork","success"],"id":25839,"author_id":"Magnus+Nwagu+Amudi"},{"text":"The pain in your muscles and the sweat in your brow after doing a work the hard and honest way make you feel proud of yourself!","author":"Avijeet Das","tags":["hardwork","honesty","inspiring","life-inspirational","motivational","pain","proud","sweat","work-hard"],"id":26328,"author_id":"Avijeet+Das"},{"text":"If you build it well, a satisfaction comesAn honor to say I built that with fidelity,Purpose, value and integrity.","author":"Richard L.
