A sure fire, 100% guaranteed way to get discouraged is to focus on other people in a comparative way・ Here is why： we generally see their victories, successes, and strengths・ We see what they have and what we don， t・ We see why they are better than us. When we do this we get discouraged and we feel sorry for ourselves・ We don' t as easily see their struggles, their fears, their setbacks, and their failures・毫无疑问，一直把自己和别人比拟绝对会让我们低落。

为什么呢？我们往往看到的都是他们的成果、成功和优点。

我们看到的是他们有我们所没有的局部，我们看到的是为什么他们比我们优秀。

一旦这样，我们就很容易感到失望为自己感到难受。

同时，我们很少去关注他们的挣扎、害怕、挫折和失败。

So don' t do it. It isn* t empowering・ Don' t compare・ We are on a unique path・It is great to be inspired by another, but if by hearing another? s story, we feel that we are lesser, then we need to just focus on our own path・
所以不要这样了，这只会让你更加泄气。

不要比拟，我们都是独一无二的存在着。

让别人去鼓励你固然好,但如果别人的故事让你觉得自身有所缺乏，那么只需要专注自己就好了。
