What do you do when you meet people who are financially or economically in a better position than you? Let us all be honest here.. we sometimes compare ourselves to our peers and see if they are doing better than us. There are times where, whether it is good or not, we can tell they are doing better in life. Of course we do not know their struggles but we know that financially they are quite more comfortable than you.
In that case, should you try to fake your own situation as to not get pity or should you be honest? When I encounter people who are financially ahead than me I just think that it will be me someday... That I will reach that level too where I would be able to buy whatever they can. So basically I try to make them my inspiration. Do you take inspiration from the rich people or do they make you feel worse?
If seeing someone who is better than you makes you feel like you should fake your personality, then I pity you as a human being. The best way to react to those moments is to pick up the challenge and work even harder. Of course we all have these moments which makes us wonder "what is it that we're ain't doing and the other person is doing that has made them attain that height or achieve the position they are." Sometimes we work even hard 9-5, stress our minds and body all week and even in most cases more than the successful persons we know. But the truth is, if you start faking it, then you are not ready to learn the secret. If the person is close to me, I'd even walk to the person and ask what's the secret so as to learn a few things which may be of help to me. I always say this and I'd say it even here that there isn't any harm in wanting to know. If you see someone doing better than you, instead of feeling you aren't up to their level and for you to feel among, you should rather fake your personality, I advise you push even harder in life as you pick that person as your motivation so you'd doing even better.
