Adolf Hitler said, "Do not compare yourself to others." This is a common mistake people make. They think that if they see someone else being successful, then they should stop trying and just give up. You should keep striving to be like the successful person because even though they are famous or rich, they still have problems that you can solve too. Let's say that I want to be like Michael Jordan so I try hard at basketball. However, I'm not him so I cannot become him. I should keep playing basketball because even though he is great, he still has problems that I can solve too. For example, Michael Jordan had difficulties making friends so people would laugh at him when he tried to play basketball. This would bother him so he stopped playing basketball until he grew out of this phase. There are many more examples like this one so now you understand why it is important not to compare yourself to others. Also, remember that everyone has their own path in life. Even though someone else's path may seem better than yours right now, you can't know what lies ahead so you shouldn't judge anyone.
