The secret to growth.
The only person you should strive to be better than, is the person you were yesterday.
Being better or worse than anybody else doesn't and shouldn't matter, one has to win and one has to lose and it's ok if you're the one that loses, but always win in the race against yourself.
“Don’t compare yourself with anyone in this world…if you do so, you are insulting yourself.” –Bill Gates
When we compare ourselves to someone else we will always have to rank ourselves as either superior or inferior to that other person, and neither of those assessments will ever be factually accurate. Infact, the ONLY person you should EVER compare yourself with is YOU!
One day you might come out successful, but just remember, that doesn't mean you can't get better, winning once isn't a dead end, you will have a lot more distance to cover.
Each day has 24 hours, it's actually a lot..and it's our job to make most of it!

Thought provoking article. If there is a conscious and consistent forward growth in your life, you have achieved your life-purpose. You don't have to compare your growth with any other person's growth, because every person has unique qualities, not amenable to comparison. Your fight is with yourself not others. Very true.
