A Better You

Don’t concern yourself with being better then everyone else. That will mainly get you resentment disappointment or both. Focus instead on being better today than you were yesterday, on being even better tomorrow than you are today.

When you compare yourself to others, you’ll either end up being disappointed or you’ll end up being arrogant. Instead compare yourself to yourself. The important thing is to make progress in your own life. Upstaging someone else simply won’t bring you any true gain. Improving yourself will.

We all share certain things In common, and yet no two people are the same. There is no one who is better then you. And at the same time, you are better than no one else. You are unique. You are beyond compare. Make the most of it. Make it better and better each day. Stop worrying about everyone else and you’ll free up enormous energy to be the best you can be.

I love to read inspiration quotes,lines not just because they boost my morale but I get to realize a lot.Let me not beat around the bush, this is one of the finest forwards I got some time back.It sits in my desk always :)


Just read through these lines

"Don't concern yourself being better than everyone else.When you compare yourself to others,you'll either end up being dissapointed or you'll end up being arrogant"

These lines convey a lot.We tend to compare ourself with almost every person.If it is not the person does it, people around us tend to do it.As far as I see ,Comparison with peers starts from the family.You get to be compared with your siblings,friends in either academic/co-curricular activities.Later the same repeats with managers while reviewing your performance.



I strongly believe the point that it is good if someone points out the mistakes that you do.We can accept them and correct it.But the same point is told to you in comparison we generally try to ignore it. I have seen instances when a person develops a hatred towards the individual he/she is compared with.Does it not sound dangerous? Mutual love for a fellow human is questioned!


We forget to realize that EVERY PERSON is unique in this world.IMHO,Personification is required to identify an individual.


I do accept the fact that there has to be a learning from people around you and that we can try to imbibe the good qualities,values others possess.But End of the day just evaluate yourself and see if there has been improvement/learning happening in your own life.


Off late I have started to ignore comments when It arises out of comparison.I just chase my dreams and seek direction in achieving it. I do observe others ,see how they behave/handle things and assimilate them.But I am trying to make sure that I do not become a replica of someone.Wish I never do compare anyone and appreciate every individual qualities as their own.


I have just penned in my thoughts here any comments are welcome.

Contemplations

Contemplations means a thoughful observation or study.It is required to sought information in contemplation of a career decison/change,decide on actions impacting one's life.I have seen/heard people doing self-analysis as a part of continuous learning process both in personal/professional front.

Blogging had indeed introduced new things to me,widened my knowledge,taught me how to empathize.It is not just a space where you pour out your feelings,showcase your interests but as well understand other's perspective.So here I have started this blog to share and learn varied things which interests me.

Welcome to this space reflecting my thought process :)
