4. Run your own race

I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself.
Mikhail Baryshnikov

Comparing yourself with others is an effective way to demotivate yourself. Even if you start with enthusiasm, you will soon lose your energy when you compare yourself with others.
Don’t let that happen to you. You have your own race so how other people perform is irrelevant. Comparing yourself with others is like comparing the performance of a swimmer with a runner using the same time standard. They are different so how can you compare one with the other?
The only competitor you have is yourself. The only one you need to beat is you. Have you become the best you can be?

4.別管別人

“我又不想比別人跳舞跳得好。我只想著跳得比自己好而已?！?/FONT>
要想灰心喪氣，拿自己跟別人比可謂立竿見影。就算一開始你豪氣沖天，一和別人比，你馬上就繳械投降。
千萬別這么做。你跑自己的，管別人呢。拿自己和別人比，就像讓一個游泳的和一個跑步的用同一時間標準斗快。都不一樣，天曉得你怎么比較出來？
自己才是自己的唯一敵人。這也是你唯一要戰勝的對手。你做到最好了嗎？
