Thank you once more @olawalium.

We all need to understand the fact that comparing ourselves with others can only make us feel terribly bad about ourselves. You can't measure up yourself or your achievements with theirs and be happy with whatever it is you have accomplished.

Their is always somebody out their with better results than you are getting, trying to catch up with them will only result in unhealthy competition that deny you the opportunity to appreciate or enjoy whatever you have accomplished.

It is good to set such a high standard for ourselves, but don't let it be too high that you won't be able to accomplish. It is better to set a reasonable standard so that after each accomplishments, you keep raising the bar.

If the competition is from within, we call it motivation or drive which is healthy for every great accomplishments. External competition is a destroyer, it ask you to keep stretching far beyond your limit until you outstretched your limit that can only lead to your break down.

You can't be anyone else and be happy, the only person you can be in order to be happy is you....

Thanks @olawalium and @communitycoin, can't wait for the second part.
