                Jealousy  generally  refers  to  the             others  and  this  is  negative  for

                NEGATIVE?                                        common       examples
                                                                 of     students'    life
                Well most of you will say yes, but               based  on  my  own

                according  to  my  view,  for                    experience.        Now
                students,  jealousy  is  not  always             how can jealousy be
                negative.
                                                                 a positive thing?

                Let‟s see this –
                                                                JEALOUSY AS POSITIVE –
                JEALOUSY AS A NEGATIVE –
                                                                Now many of you are thinking that

                Many of you will not agree but we               how  could  it  be  positive  and  right
                all  are  having  the  feeling  of              now  reading  it    interestingly  to
                jealousy  in  us.  Many  shows  but             know the answer so let‟s know.

                many hides.
                                                                Like  jealousy  is  negative  in  many
                For  students,  jealousy  is  negative          cases as you saw above in the same
                in  that  case  when  you  see  that            manner  it  can  be  positive.  For

                something that is yours is grabbing             example  –  if  you  are  an  average
                by someone else.                                student then it is positive but if you
                                                                direct  yourself  in  the  correct  way.
