He must increase, but I must decrease. (John 3:30)

Many people don't like it. No. They actually hate to learn/hear/ know that someone else is doing better than them. Not at school, work, home, church or among fellow workers, colleagues, friends, church members and name it. All that many people care about is "I, Me and Myself" kind of feeling

That kind of approach in life is selfish in many ways. God's desire for each one of us is to consider others. Wrote the Apostle Paul: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.  Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." (Philippians 2:3-4)
