La Rochefoucauld, the French philosopher, said: If you want enemies, excel your friends; but if you want friends, let your friends excel you.
Why is that true? Because when our friends excel us, that gives them a feeling of importance; but when we excel them, that gives them a feeling of inferiority and arouses envy and jealousy.
