Happy dawn of Saturday from this side of the world. I am about to sleep now but before doing so, I opened my phone to check on who gets the top - rated discussion. I am glad that some of the discussions that I liked and commented on are in the topmost . I don't mind where my discussions are because I know my posts do not get more likes and comments. Envious of others? No I am not. How about you? Are you envious to others if their discussions are many steps farther than yours?

I am motivated by success - never envious.

That’s true. Sometimes I’m so envious seeing that some members get more than 20 comments in every discussion they post.

if so, then you should be more active so you get more likes and comments as well. let it be a stepping stone.

we are of the same attitude. i like knowing that some discussions that i share my insights are in the top discussions. at least, i know my like and comment catapulted them to where they are now.

At times, I want to be like them but it is not nice comparing. We have our own cupt of tea so we just have ti make it better and better next time.

i checked on my old discussions and rarely do i have comments more than 30. i have already accepted that fact, and i still try my best to have discussions that can be liked and commented on. after all, my discussions are like my everyday diary.

No, I'm not envious of others, who have top rated discussions. I'm always glad to see a friend's writing, becoming popular and well liked!

@ridingbet When we read about another member life, we care about what's happening!

I think the best answer for not getting more comments or likes is to ask our self if, is our topic is interesting? or nonsense? and instead of the envious feeling, just be happy and join them to the conversation.

I don't really think to check and I'm certainly not envious of other people if they get further than me. There are people who have been here much longer than me and are far more popular. I'm just happy to come here each day and write.

@ridingbet A couple of my discussions have done well and it's nice to see that but I don't expect it every time.

we have the same attitude. envy is a major sin and so is pride. envy might be good if we use it to improve ourselves.
