In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be
46 with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit
47 . The only solution is to reach
48 and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more
49 measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your
50 .
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get
51 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for
52 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly
53 . The only direct and honest comparison is
54 yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only
55 to compare yourself to someone else if their life
56 is the same as your own. Good luck finding that
57 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated（埋头苦干的）you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can
58 someone is coming up fast
59 you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best
60 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to
61 you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who
62 if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of
63 . You are a more
64 person today than you were yesterday. Your own
65 is all you need.
