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.别管别人

“我又不想比别人跳舞跳得好。我只想着跳得比自己好而已。”
要想灰心丧气，拿自己跟别人比可谓立竿见影。就算一开始你豪气冲天，一和别人比，你马上就缴械投降。
千万别这么做。你跑自己的，管别人呢。拿自己和别人比，就像让一个游泳的和一个跑步的用同一时间标准斗快。都不一样，天晓得你怎么比较出来？
自己才是自己的唯一敌人。这也是你唯一要战胜的对手。你做到最好了吗？
