Compare

People around you or even yourself tend to compare about every single thing at most of the time. The habit of comparison apply to every individual regardless of culture, race and stuff. One of the most typical comparison are your academic results. It seems to be absolutely normal for parents to take their child and compare to relatives or others. 

Sometimes, even ourself will tend to also compare with our classmate(s). Well.. i think sometimes its totally fine because it helps to create competitive advantages and sort of act as a motivation for all of us to improve. But, i personally think that over comparison and overly attached with the outcome, are not healthy at all. Because most of the time, you should be your own, one and only competitor. What you should trying to achieve next is something better than what you've currently achieved. Over rely on the sources from comparison will only create a lot of unnecessary stress and causes demotivation. 

Of course, most of the time we do compare our life to others as well. We compare wealthiness, happiness, or even just one event or issues happen in your life. There was once, my friend are sort of in a depressed mode at that period of time, i literally send her a song that written based on own experience, and it makes my friend feel a lot better. In this case i guess compare does helped because through that she realise that what she thinks thats matter is just a piece of cake. It sort of help to broaden her vision. 

Anyhow, what i trying to emphasis here is people nowadays are too affected by comparison and forgot who they really were. What they are chasing and trying to achieve are not what they really want nor what they really need. At the end of the day, thou you've got what you think you want, you won't feel any happiness at all. Because continual competition with others is the only things that remain in your mind. 

Everyone is a special creature. I strongly believe creativity and the individuality will help you to stand out from the crowd. You do not need to fight to be someone who are already exist. Just be yourself. Believe in your dream, work hard on it, it will eventually come true. As long as there is life, there is hope. 


Good Luck everyone!
