Heros part 2: comparison

One of the biggest pit falls I have noticed in success, is comparison.  As I mentioned last week, comparison can be very good, but you have to be very careful with it.  Everyone is different.  The way you learn can be vastly different than how your classmates learn and the way you perceive something is by definition going to be different than the way someone else does.  It is important to keep that in mind.
Another problem with comparison is that people lie and exaggerate.  Everyone wants their accomplishments to mean something.  In order to impress, they may say something that is far from what is actually true.  That doesn’t mean that you should belittle your own accomplishments.  Just remember that you need to do what works for you.
 Maybe, you do need to study twice as long for a test than your friend, but you should just plan for that accordingly.  Success is realizing who you are and finding what you need to do with what you are given.
