We must be aware of the hand on our shoulder. It might be the one that holds us back from succeeding in life. The society where we live is made up of various types of people. Some who are jealous of our success, then there are some who are happy with our success and a few who really don’t care.

We always try to satisfy others and keep on doing things by the way they are. Very few people dare to do something off-beat. This inability to make a few changes is due to some of the people around us who manipulate us with their views. But we should always keep in mind that changes are compulsory.

We are very familiar with the saying that “A small change can make a big difference”. We should always keep this in our mind and act accordingly. Making a difference in this world or in other words succeeding in life depends on the small changes and decisions we take in our life.

And there are only two kinds of people who stop and demotivate us in making a difference. One category consists of people who fear failure. They are afraid of even trying. In short, they are the cowards. One must be aware of them. One should never give up on the fear of losing.

The other category consists of “jealous minds”. These are the people who are jealous of you and are afraid that maybe you can achieve something which they have failed to. So, they will stop you from making a difference in your life. They are the negative influence which must be avoided in order to achieve success.

So, we should hear everything that these two types of people say but do what we feel right. We must be determined and confident. And most importantly, one must believe himself.
