It is useless to compare ourselves to others. Find out why here.
Talking Points:
- Being successful doesn’t mean you have to be better than everyone else at what you do. It simply means that you are making a good living, striving for excellence, and feeling that what you do is meaningful.
- It’s unrealistic to compare yourself to all the good you see in another person and not realize that they may have a lot of bad things going on in their lives as well. You cannot separate someone’s public side from their private side.
- Be as successful as you can be with the talent and ability you already possess. Comparing yourself to only the public side you see in others is just a waste of time. Work, instead, on being a better person.
