    In our culture people always advise us to compare ourselves with others. “You can win; the others aren’t as ­  41   as you,” “You must be the best in your class,” etc. This is not the best way of thinking. There are many reasons to   42   this way of thinking and begin to compare ourselves   43   with ourselves.

The first reason to   44   comparing yourself with others is that there will always be someone better than you. It doesn’t matter in which aspect; it is always   45  . Therefore, you could feel worse to others. For example, you can be the best   46  , and this can make you feel extremely   47  . But if someday you find someone is better than you are, you could feel   48  , although you are   49   good at delivering a speech.

The second reason to avoid this kind of   50   is that you will always find someone   51   than you. This of course can make you feel good, but this feeling can turn into a   52   pride. For example, if you are the second best student in your class, and one day the very best student   53   the school, you will then be the best one   54   you are still only as good as you were before.

The last but most   55   reason to avoid comparing ourselves with others is that when we do, we are likely to   56   them. We may do the same thing as them, and act and think like them too. Then we will never know who we   57   are and what we really want, and then we will never get improved.

For all these reasons and because we are   58  , we should not compare ourselves with others. In this way, we will not feel less or more than others, and we will   59   ourselves as we really are.   60  , we will be happier.
