If you want to make great progress, there is one easy way to do so: compare yourself with others. Comparing yourself with others will only give you two things: either you feel proud when you are above, or you feel jealous and intimidated when you are below. As you can see, both are negative emotions that won't do you any good.
Unfortunately, our society is full of comparisons.Pepole like to compare themselves with others.
So what about your opinion and what will you do when in a comparison situation? Talk something to share. Thanks!

I like this topic.I have been asking myself the similar question for a long time---do you like to be compared with others or youself? In fact, I think no one wants to be compared unless necessary.It is kind of cruel to see clearly how pimping you are.Well,we still have to do this any way.And most importantly,we should have a good attitude toward it.Our society is full of competition and comparison.Be honest to yourself,don't be too proud or self-abased and make progress everyday!

Thanks for your sharing. I quite agree with your opinion. As we are living in a competitive society, comparison is unavoidable most of the time. What important is our correct attitudes towards this problem. Anyway, we should understand ourself and try to be our best. Also we can set up a right role model by running after, we will improve ourselves step by step!

Yes ...ofcourse i compare myself to others.....and i think all of us do....inspite of what some of my friends above have to say.....
Comparing urself to others gives you a certain standard as to where you stand among a group of people....We can rise only if we know about our competitors....
Whenevr you feel u are above certain people in some standard....it gives u a sense of satisfaction.....but whenevr you feel you have been left out....or ur lagging ur rivals....it gives a sense of motivation to work hard and rise above all the others !....
The jist of my argument is that you need to know where you stand in order to rise in life !
Thank You...and Have a nice day !
Take care !

Thank you for your sharing. I quite agree with what you said. Comparison may give us the motivation to go ahead if we see it clearly and take correct attitude towards this problem. A person's biggest enemy lies in himself/herself.
Have a nice day and enjoy yourself!
