Well I am sure you might have come across people who who reach to the top in no time........they might join as your juniors, and you are where you are but they are your seniors in no time.......if they did it with hard work well and good......but if you feel he is there just because he met the fancies of your boss or shared some hot gossip about the workers..........
Same might go as students.......you find someone just scored high marks through copying and cheating in exams.....whereas you spent the whole night studying but were not able to score for some reasons whereas this person who never opened his books has scored well.......what is your reaction????
Do you envy such persons?????
Do you plot against them????
What would you do exactly......as i find such people very irritating but don't really know what to do?????

Hi John4Christ, We don't always see it but I believe the old saying that cheaters never win. While such people may rise to the top quickly, unless they can do the job they won't be there very long. There are times when we must report someone because they are harming another, but in many cases it best to let them alone because life itself will eventually teach them. Blessings.

That is so true.......life teaches everyone a lesson which they deserve....but as you rightly say it is sometimes very important to report such people.......they can be real trouble makers......

yes, i don't actually like these people too but this is life, and there are a lot of them in this cruel world. LOL. for me, i just let them do their thing, i simply try to ignore it or stay focused on what i'm doing. of course there were times that i find them so out of their limits already but what can i do? i don't have any magical powers to stop them nor influence this people. they can change, and only themselves can make those changes.

There is a saying; "The wheel in the sky keeps onturning." I know we might not always see the wheel turn on these people because when it does, we might not be around to see it. This might be a good thing because our response to this persons fate might be rejoycing, and according to 1Cor.13 we are not to rejoyce in the troubles of others, no matter if they deserve it or not.
I strongly believe that people who cheet in life will be cheeted, some way or another. If not on this earth, then surely, unless they repent, they will be cheated out of eternal life. This does sound harsh but God is fair in His judgement, and He shall judge the unrightiouss.
Sometimes there is nothing we can do or say to these cheaters, but I suppose we can pray.
May you recieve wisdom to handle these situations.
Blessings

Thank you beertjie it is always so good to hear from you.....
well i do agree with you that god will teach all of them a lesson.......but i have seen so many people who are still scot free and keep on climbing the ladder of success.....i have my friends who don't study a single thing in exam but carry chits and pass with good marks its been since a long.......sometimes it irritates.....but as you rightly say when they would be at work....they are certainly going to miss out on certain technicalities which they never learned in college......
Thanks for the response !!!!!

I don't like it since I am a very honest person. Where I used to work a guy got hired and brown nosed the department head and got promoted to supervisor, not mine fortunately, very quickly. He actually confessed to someone in his group that he had faked the data to get his graduate degree without which he never would have been hired. He did get his finally when he moved on to another part of the company and got caught doing something wrong and was fired and escorted off the property. He also cheated on his wife. He just was not a good person.

So i think that cheaters don't last for long........they have their fate waiting for them at the other end......as someone here just mentioned, their success is not for long.......they fall off the height some day or the other......
God bless you !!!!

YES that will be so discouraging, but i think people doing such will surely never reap good things that last, for i believe if you sow a good seeds then it will have an abundant harvest, just as the saying goes " do not do unto others what you do not want to do unto you" that's the golden rule,

Hi John,,,I think you find people like this in all walks of life that get by on someone elses shirt tail.
They cheat and connive until they get what they want and nine times out of ten don't stay there once they have the one thing they have climbed over friendships
and hurt alot of people in order to accomplish.
It really is not long until these people mess up and someone finds out they are not as smart as they think they are and then what do they have left? They have already lost everyone who cared anything about them from stepping on them to get to the top.
You are a rich man when you die and leave alot of friends and no regrets, my friend.

Hey first of all congrats for that star !!!!
and i really like to see your responses.....
And yes i do feel that these people might get some instant fame by faking......but when people come to know that they are actually not smart.....no one looks at them.......this is all about destiny......it is decided for all......if you do good you get good......if you do evil....then the seed of evil will destroy you.....
Thats very well put by you !!!!
Have a nice day !!!!

I have also come across people who get to the top by wrong means, but I have never found anyone staying happy on the top for a long period of time. I am also sure that people who get to the top by wrong means doesn't stay for long period of time.

am not sure what to say to them but i guess some are just lazy or can't seem to sink in to their heads.in my case, i could either do both, but for the cheating part, i would do it if i really have no choice.besides, 
some lessons are seemed hard to sink in when ever i try to read more than one books with the same subjects.My hubby and I used to make group study together but after that dare kiss, we ended up normally in bed....sweaty naked

hi John,
Corruption in increasing in all the countries day by day and now even common man is getting effected by this. People would go to any length to get a good job or promotions. I know few girls who got out of turn promotions because they were very close to top management. Yes they become boss and then they expect you to be their yes man like they are to their seniors. They think all are corrupt and those organizations which let them go up the ladder without their qualifications would see a general low moral of their workforce and might go bank corrupt one day.
