In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be    41   with who you are. There's always someone who's a bit    42   . The only solution is to reach   43    and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more 　44    measure for comparison than who you were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your     45   .

  Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others.   46   you see yourself as better than someone and you get   47  , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for   48   . It is a fool's game. Not one of us is   49   alike. The only direct and honest comparison is   50   yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.

  My opinion is that you are only   51   to compare yourself to someone else if their life   52   is the same as your own. Good luck finding that match. And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how   53   you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there's not, you can   54   someone is coming up fast behind you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best   55  .

   Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to   56   you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who   57   if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn't make a bit of   58  . You are a more fit person today than you were yesterday. Your own   59   is all you need.

  If you   60   to a slightly higher standard of yourself every day, you will always be at the top of your game.
