Tall Poppy Syndrome/100 tips for better life/Reveal a lie
Week#30 of The NagerBazar Newsletter where I share something useful, something productive and something entertaining.
Dear all,
Tall Poppy Syndrome is a term used to describe the phenomenon of people being resented, excluded, or criticized for their success. The term comes from the image of a tall poppy, which is a flower that stands out from the rest of the field. In some cultures, tall poppies are cut down to make them the same height as the other flowers. This is seen as a way of preventing anyone from becoming too successful or different.
An analogy for Tall Poppy Syndrome is the "crab bucket" mentality. This is the idea that if one crab tries to escape from a bucket, the other crabs will pull it back down. This is seen as a way of preventing anyone from achieving success, as they will be dragged down by the others.
Tall Poppy Syndrome can have a negative impact on society, as it can discourage people from achieving their full potential. It can also lead to a culture of mediocrity, as people are afraid to stand out or be different.
Here are some examples of Tall Poppy Syndrome:
A student who is praised for their academic achievements is told to "not get too big for their britches."
A successful entrepreneur is criticized for being "greedy" or "selfish."
A politician who is seen as a rising star is attacked by their opponents.
