		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s inevitable, really. If you spend time with people, you will get criticized. Not by everyone (hopefully) or about everything (hopefully), but people, by nature, can&#8217;t seem to get by without offering (supposedly) helpful advice or feedback.

Creating and maintaining social contacts outside of your program is a really effective way to detox from the competition and envy. If you can&#8217;t share your successes within your program, be sure to share them with people outside of your program. Build in a strong support [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tip #3: Focus on your achievements, not just theirs. One huge source of envy and spite occurs when you constantly (negatively) compare yourself to others.

If you are spending time with your colleagues (as opposed to your competitors) you should be able to mutually define expectations. It&#8217;s useful to know, ahead of time, how the information you share might be utilized.&#160; &#160;]]></description>
