Mr X is a hardworking guy who always delivers his goals on time. He is never late to office. His house is well organised and his bills are always paid on time. He manages to do his exercise regularly and is also active in social gatherings. He spends his time with his family and takes them on vacations too. Others are jealous of him. For them he is too ambitious, a kinda perfectionist and perfectionist people don't enjoy their lives. Unlike Mr. X, they know better than to be too ambitious. They just enjoy their lives and are satisfied with whatever they have. Mr X exercises because he cares about his looks a lot and they don't want to be a model. People should accept others the way they are.
Meanwhile, the greedy Mr. X has a fitter body, a solid appraisal from his boss, a happy family and no chaos at home. Then why not to be greedy if the outcome is so beautiful.
