In that moment, I was struck as if by a pin, filled with surprise. I had always assumed that the admiration and envy flowed only one way, from me to him. I thought I was the pursuer, exerting every ounce of effort to catch up to and approach the victor who seemed to excel effortlessly, while I had to struggle relentlessly just to get close. It turned out I was wrong. My persistence and hard work made him feel nervous, even envious, perhaps with a hint of jealousy of his own.
The stubbornness of our youth is somewhat nostalgic in hindsight. We often fought fiercely over trivial matters, acting as if life hung in the balance. While amusing now, that intensity was perhaps the best quality of that age. Have you ever admired someone who happened to admire you in return? Looking back at how you two silently competed, it might seem funny, but it also offers a sudden realization: you are quite good. When you envy others, they may well be envying you. You may be as excellent in their eyes as they are in yours. Why dwell in inferiority or self-pity? Reserve more care for yourself, and you will only get better.
那一刻，我仿佛被针扎了一下，内心满是惊讶。我曾一直以为，那份羡慕与嫉妒只是我单方面投向他的；我以为是自己在拼尽全力追赶，试图接近这位轻而易举便能考得比我好的“胜利者”，而我则是一个必须付出无数努力才能勉强接近、甚至超越他的“追赶者”。原来，是我错了。我的坚持与努力，同样让他感到紧张，感到羡慕，或许还夹杂着几分轻微的嫉妒。
年少时的偏执，如今回想起来竟有些让人怀念。那时我们常常为了微不足道的小事争得面红耳赤、势同水火，现在想来固然有些可笑，但那份认真与投入，却是那个年纪最珍贵的品质。你是否曾羡慕过某个人，而那个人恰好也羡慕着你？你们在暗中较劲的模样，现在回想是否觉得好笑？但你也因此突然明白：其实你很好。当你嫉妒他人时，他人或许也在嫉妒你。在你眼中优秀的人，在别人眼里或许同样耀眼。何必陷入自卑与自怜？请将更多的关怀留给自己，你会变得越来越好。
