Walking along, with my Mother and elder brother, back home, from the prize distribution ceremony at School, was the most painful journey of my life.
My elder brother, scoring first, always, in overall grading, and also in individual subjects, was loaded with so many books as prize money.
I scored nothing! No load. Empty hand.
Returning home with mother wasn't an easy task with my brother down with the weight of so many books and I am up with nothing.
I felt bad then, but don't feel negative about the same anymore.
My brother had earned what he deserved. I had earned nothing, because I didn't deserve anything.
So simple is that.
Comparison begins there!
Competition begins here!
And it keeps manifestating in all forms in our lives with all the negative consequences.
Don't compete. Don't compare. Just play the game of life.
Go all out, beyond competition and comparison, to make it happen in your life in a big way.
P.S: I share my experiences to help the young generation understand what I didn't, when I was young.
