Being the best of what you can be is a challenging task until you know your capabilities. Capabilities on the other hand are not a fixed entity nor can it go beyond physical and emotional boundary. Limiting yourself and letting go should be balanced, to create the best personality in you.

People often tend to compare themselves with others. Comparison with others can only create ego and hurt your self motivation. When you know the fact that everyone and everything in them are unique no matter how similar they may look. And no two people can have the same sense of perception of the environment they are in.

So creating a competition between two people in different environment is doing an unfair judgement. People may argue competition accelerates the progress but at the cost of what? No matter how tough, how rough and how bad the world seems. At least try to be a competitor of yourself and not others. If you feel everyday is a test and everyday you have to be at the top. Then when will be the time for fun?
