We have been told many times to not compare ourselves with others. Luckily I read a similar article in ET yesterday under the one segment I love to spend time and muse around my thoughts,"Cosmic Uplink". It says that why should we compare ourselves with other? Each human being is different and has the different capability, skill, knowledge and traits, then why should we compare? May be there are many who like to go ahead with this logic however I don't find it very compatible to my thought process. In fact I think that comparison is required, it should be there and comparison only adds spices in life, it actually makes life more interesting and easy.Now the million dollar question is how the hell comparing is better than not comparing?
Comparison is required as this world is full of billions of competitors. Every human being is competing with other on the grounds of some common skills, knowledge and traits. Comparison provides us the areas or scopes we need to work on, it provide us the update on how far the light is at the end of the tunnel. A smart comparison helps us to improve from our present level, and a stupid compare lead us to envy, jealousy and dire strait state. A comparison full of simplicity and common sense is what we need to work on to derive the correct leading or lagging edge. Now it’s all about your attitude how you take the out-come of the comparison… either cry for what you don’t have or strive hard to get the same. Don’t compare richest man with the poorest man, don’t compare lion with a mouse, and don’t compare earth with sky. Use your common sense and compare with the proper comparability.
I am a live example who believes in comparing and love to do the same. When I feel good after achieving something, I enjoy the moment but at the same time I compare my self to somebody who is superior than me to set my quick goal. When I am depressed and not happy I compare me with somebody who is not performing as good as I am, or not having what I possess, this gives me a quick relief from my pain, hurt and anguish.
Life shapes up with the decisions we take, and decision is taken on the basis of some facts, logic and vision. Most of the time comparison also comes into picture while taking some decisions, so it is required to do a smart comparison. When I feel high I should not be complacent as that may create hindrance to my growth, at the same time when I feel low I should not further depress myself. Comparison will help us to jump out of our entire problems and taking the right decision at right time. Mix right attitude with the right comparison and see the difference…!!!
So, the only bind we have to keep in mind,
That…We have the intelligent and smart…
Comparison shop…!!!
