If you keep that kind of attitude, then I guarantee you will never get a good job.

My advice for you is to never disrespect yourself and to never to put yourself down. If you start having these kind of thoughts - don't finish them. Think about something else like how if you work harder you can accomplish virtually anything.

Those people in life that seem like you will never match up to, they didn't just come out of the womb like that. They had to work hard to accomplish what they've achieved. You just don't see that side of their story. Focus on self-improvement and compare the you today to the you yesterday, always trying to improve. Compete against yourself and do all that you can to grow professionally and reach your career goals. Don't compete against others.

 

Wow that was great. That really gave me encouragement and motivation. I really appreciate those words. They mean more to me than you know. Thank you so much.

Comparison is the thief of joy. if you keep comparing someones best skills to a skill your working on, your always going to be disappointed. They could be bottom of the barrel in other skills. I doubt LeBron James compares himself to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Just keep building the wall brick by brick every day and eventually you will get to where you need to be. Everyone is at different stages in life, some hit their goals earlier than others, but they're probably deficient in other departments (Women, Personal development, fitness etc.)

Don't compare yourself to anyone else in this world. If you do, it is an insult to yourself. Bill gates
