Making friends with excellent people will make you * * * progress together. As long as you have a correct attitude, in most cases, it will make you * * * progress together, instead of making you feel inferior. It is because you can't control yourself well that you are not the other person, but your own reasons.
An excellent friend is one who is better than you. For a simple example, if you can get 6 points and he can get 8 points in the exam, he is an excellent friend. There is no denying that he is worse than a better person, but he is excellent enough compared with you. He is your motivation to make friends with him and want to surpass him. There is no conflict. When you need each other's help, they will help you. This is a friend. After you surpass each other, you will also choose to help each other to make progress and supervise each other towards a better self. This is a true friend who works hand in hand.
Only by making friends with excellent people can you feel the gap. If you have always been the best one in the surrounding circle, you should choose to change your circle of friends now. You should know more excellent people, because you always feel that you are the best in the circle of friends, so you have no room for improvement and no motivation to improve. You can't see where your gap is and compare with excellent people, and then you know what you are not doing well.
Making friends with excellent people will not cause you to feel inferior. If you feel inferior, it is because you have not adjusted yourself well. The other person has surpassed you a lot, so it is difficult for you to become friends. Your world circle is different. You are a working class, and you only earn 8, yuan a month. Your boss starts his own business, with an income of 8 million yuan a year. Can you be friends with your boss? You can't make friends with you just because the other person won't have anything to talk about with you, even if it's better than you, that's what you can surpass with your efforts.
People can't always be the best. If you think you are the best now, it's because you haven't met anyone better. If you work hard, some people will work harder than you, and some people will be smarter than you. But as long as you are willing to work hard, you will persist in comparing with more excellent people and find your own gap, you will make progress and be better than yourself in the past. This is a good change. Only in this way can you gradually see the changes in yourself.
