What should you do when you feel discouragement?

感到沮喪的時候應(yīng)該做什么？

Stop comparing ourself to others. We're on a unique path

不要和別人比較，我們都是獨一無二的

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.

毫無疑問，一直把自己和別人比較絕對會讓我們低落。為什么呢：我們往往看到的都是他們的成果、成功和優(yōu)點。我們看到的是他們有我們卻沒有的部分，我們看到的是為什么他們比我們優(yōu)秀。一旦這樣，我們就很容易感到失望為自己感到難受。同時，我們很少去關(guān)注他們的掙扎、害怕，挫折和失敗。

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.

所以不要這樣了，這只會讓你更加泄氣。不要比較，我們都是獨一無二的存在著。讓別人去激勵你固然好，但如果別人的故事讓你覺得自身有所不足，那么只需要專注自己就好了。
