"IF I CAN'T HAVE IT, NEITHER CAN YOU."
This message is the one I want to share with this blog of mine. Maybe you’ve
heard about it, or maybe not.
First, what
is crab mentality? It is a popular phrase here in the Philippines. The concept
refers to an interesting phenomenon which occurs in a bucket of live crabs; if
one crab attempts to escape other crabs will put it back down rather than
allowing it to get free.
In reality,
it is the same to people who don’t want to see others to be successful. They will
do whatever it takes to pull you down; especially when they know that you have
the potential to pursue and achieve your dreams. It is caused by jealousy,
conspiracy or competitive feelings. People with crab mentality may try to discourage
you every way they can, with anger, verbal attacks, talking behind your back,
spreading false information just to ruin your reputation, etc., so that you
will lose your confidence and to stop pursuing your dreams.
Now, you know
that crab people always wants to be the best not others, to deal with this
people, you have to understand that we cannot avoid this kind of people for
they are everywhere. So, learn the following things:
·
Recognize
the crabs around you, accept the reality whoever they are. Don’t waste your
time trying to change them. Focus on your success and not to their
negativities.
·
Don’t
share your plans, success stories and things like that with crab people.
·
Keep
fighting, don’t let anyone discourage you. Don’t lose your confidence and stay
strong, if you want to get on the top keep fighting.
