We all want to be successful in our work. But what happens when our achievements come at the risk of losing important friendships? If your friends didn't receive what they were hoping for, your success could make them feel like they've been “left in the dust”. But does that mean that we shouldn't enjoy our achievements in case we displease someone or that we should feel sorry for being successful when others aren't?
Those of us who value friendships and close working relationships might feel embarrassed for achieving more than our friends. But we deserve our success, and nothing should take it away. Jealousy is only natural, but It’s often unreasonable, too. Your success is probably not connected with your friends' progress, so you shouldn't feel bad about achieving your goals. If your friends stay unfriendly, don’t be afraid to keep yourself away from them. You are not responsible for their weaknesses, and nor should they treat you sharply for furthering your work.
On the other hand, your friends may think highly of your recent success while hiding their real feelings. They could be jealous, angry or sad that they are not progressing at the same rate. So, be careful not to boast. It's a thin line between pride and self-importance, and by crossing the line, you may risk losing team support.
Next time you want to boast about your end-of-year win, or high-class new office, consider your listeners. Maybe your friends narrowly missed out on a position-raising, or experienced pay cuts which meant they didn't get what they were expecting. If your work is on a rising path, it doesn't mean that's the case for everyone.
Perhaps a step forward in your work has meant that you don't spend as much time with your friends as you used to. If you've changed a post or moved to a new office, take the time to stay in touch with old friends. Chances are that in the build-up to your success you've built strong relationships along the way. Don't let that hard work go to waste by losing touch with them.
我们都想在工作中取得成功。但是,当我们的成就冒着失去重要友谊的风险时,会发生什么呢?如果你的朋友没有得到他们所希望的,你的成功可能会让他们觉得自己被“抛在了尘土中”。但这是否意味着我们不应该享受自己的成就,以防让别人不高兴,或者当别人不高兴时,我们应该为自己的成功感到遗憾?
我们这些重视友谊和亲密工作关系的人可能会因为比朋友取得的成就更多而感到尴尬。但我们的成功是值得的,任何事情都不应该夺走它。嫉妒是很自然的,但也常常是不合理的。你的成功可能与你朋友的进步无关,所以你不应该对实现目标感到难过。如果你的朋友一直不友好,不要害怕远离他们。你不应该为他们的弱点负责,他们也不应该因为你的工作进展而严厉对待你。
另一方面,你的朋友可能会高度评价你最近的成功,同时隐藏他们的真实感受。他们可能会嫉妒、愤怒或悲伤,因为他们没有以同样的速度进步。所以,小心不要自夸。骄傲和自我重要性之间只有一线之隔,越界可能会失去团队支持。
下次你想吹嘘你的年终胜利,或者高级新办公室时,考虑一下你的听众。也许你的朋友差一点就错过了加薪,或者经历了减薪,这意味着他们没有达到预期。如果你的工作正在上升,并不意味着每个人都是这样。
也许工作上的进步意味着你不再像过去那样花那么多时间和朋友在一起了。如果你换了职位或搬到了新办公室,花点时间和老朋友保持联系。很有可能,在为你的成功做准备的过程中,你一路上建立了牢固的关系。不要因为失去与他们的联系而浪费了那些艰苦的工作。
