　　新托福写作素材：朋友间竞争

　　Since elementary school, you and your friends have probably gone to the same schools and after-school programs. Most of you probably grew up in the same area, had similar interests, and were given the same opportunities. Besides a few variances and exceptions, everyone was on the same playing field.

　　Then, college happened. If your group of friends were fortunate enough to be able to afford it, you all separated, and were now judged by new people for your individual abilities and characteristics. Your dedication and hard work determined your grades, which possibly determined your internship, which, in the end, might of determined your job. Now your job provides your income, which allows you to finance your apartment or house, your car, your phone bill, etc. You are in charge of your own life and how far you make it, and suddenly, comparing yourself to the people around you (usually your friends) is how you measure your success.

　　The reason you can congratulate someone you don't know that well is because it's easy to write them off as someone who has “nothing to do with you.” This person isn't in your social circle, so you don't feel like you're in competition. You know that you and this person you don't know can both succeed. When it comes to one of your friends, it's easier to suddenly develop the feeling that only one of you can “make it,” even though that's not true.

　　I do believe, however, that as long as you remember that the success of your friends does NOT correlate your failures, yardsticking isn't a dangerous habit. As a matter of fact, I think it can lead to higher levels of productivity and more motivation to succeed. You might be slightly jealous at your friend's new job, or your bestie's new pair of heels, or hell, even her engagement, as long as it doesn't cause you to sabotage others or think negative thoughts. I believe coveting what others accomplish can be a great way to lead to self-improvement.

　　Until I land my dream job, I will continue to use my friend's awesome new career opportunity as inspiration, just as how I use my friend Sarah's super awesome abs to remind me that I don't need to eat that second piece of cake. Also, how I remember my friend Kevin's heavy bank account to force me to save a third of my paycheck. As the great philosopher Kendrick Lamar recently said, “What is competition? I'm try to raise the bar high.”
