Success is something we are told to celebrate when we achieve it. However, it might come as quite a surprise to many of us. Sometimes, we feel guilty (内疚) when we do become successful.
You’re the First in Your Family To Achieve This Level of Success.
If you are the first person in your family to become successful, you may feel superior (有优越感的) to the others.
You Worry Success Came Too Easily
We have so many messages in our culture about having to work hard to succeed.
We associate success with lone hours at work over a desk, or keeping practicing a skill. But sometimes, we get lucky. We have succeeded before many years of hard work and effort. This can also lead to feelings of guilt.

If you become successful, you might feel guilty because you know others are still struggling.
| A．Many of us spend endless years in its pursuit. |
| B．They are just as talented, and work just as hard! |
| C．You may feel that you put yourself above them. |
| D．If you’ve experienced the feeling, you’re far from alone. |
| E．You know why one equally-talented person does not achieve success. |
| F．It’s because you might worry you didn’t put in enough effort to the success. |
