Don't Compare Yourself With Others - You Are Special

It was sports week and students were taking part in race. There was one participant who was running with others. After taking 20 m or so, he slips. Students in the audience start laughing at him. It is at this moment that one teacher comes and says that he is at least participating in the race. You people have not participated at all.

The teacher meant to say that it is important that you try. Whether you win or come last is secondary. It is similar with us. We dream about work and dream about being as successful as your idol. But you may not succeed as him. And when this happens, you often get disheartened and leave what you were doing to start something new. This is totally unwarranted.

You need not compare yourself with others. It is important that you be happy with what you are doing. The moment you feel that you are not happy, you can plan to leave it. The resources, the timing, the team that your idol had may not be with you. Instead of comparing yourself with others, you should rather focus on the job at hand. In last week, Jackie Chan had come in Kapil Sharma's show and he said a very nice thing. Whatever you do, do wholeheartedly. Do positively and focus all your energies on that. It may not be long enough when people will recognize you.

You should look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are special. No one is like you and you are like no one. Try to be yourself.
