I personally have no idea who Brad Summers is. Someone post this on Facebook. I think it's a great quote and just wanted to share.
As your company and you grow remember something...

Jealously is a side effect of competitive spirit. I personally can be jealous and respectful of a person and not let drama get the best of me. Just makes me push that much harder to be better.

It certainly could be a side effect of being competitive.
Wikipedia has a really interesting page on jealousy and what it means. The underlying reasons for jealousy would be good enough reason for me to try and keep true jealousy at bay....more notably how personal feelings of inadequacy and resentment are driving forces of jealousy. I don't think jealousy and respect are necessarily tied together, but more independent feelings than anything. Jealousy ultimately being an expression of self worth(or lack thereof) and respect being a feeling of high regard for someone else.
Vernacular would obviously play a role in how someone views the word jealousy. But at its root, it's not something that is good. I think that's what the quote is saying. Not that we can't laugh as we tell a customer who owns an awesome car that we are jealous of his new ride.

Must agree with JC.
This is a very thought provoking topic.
To me, jealousy is not an innocent emotion.
It comes from not being satisfied with what you have,
or who you are.
I believe that it is okay to like what someone else has,
but do not let it focus you on what you don't have.
If anything, it is a learning experience

Great quote!
I think the only reason I really ponder all day long about, what i am going to do, how I am going to do it, etc. etc. is because I want to be successful, but not just for myself, I really want to help others, like friends + family, when they need it and not have a dent in my checkbook. Especially I think about the future, if I have a wife and kids, have them not sweat and be in a uncomfortable living situation. (Of course, I want better for myself as well, something I really never had as a child.)
What I think about the most is me having a wife and we go over it with each other how are we going to make ends meet, etc. (mostly she would be worried, because i got a secret...
) then one day after our honeymoon, I bring her to my home and she's amazed that I have a nice home and a nice car, etc. Something that she thought we were going to have to struggle for, is already there. Then I just imagine, seeing the look on her face, seeing how surprised she would be.
I would never tell her I have any of those things, especially if I had really nice things, because I would want her to only like me for me.
........Anyways, just a little look into my head, don't know why I wanted to share that, just felt like it I guess.

That would be a fun surprise. To have someone accept you for you, then find out about your success and riches.
