"why comparison?"

I am sad because of what you have or I’m happy because of what you lack. Our feelings of satisfaction or dissatisfaction can all lead to how we compare ourselves to others. When we look at those who have more, we feel bad. When we look at those who are less fortunate, we feel grateful. Even though, accentually we all have the same life’s either way, but how we see our self’s has a tremendous effect. You should compare yourself to those examples that mean something to you but make you feel good about what you have and who you are. Comparing your self to the right people is important because if you do, you may feel confident in your self and achieve your goals. On the other hand, if you don’t you lower your selfesteem and experience a mild case of depression, or even become jealous and envois toads the person you compare yourself to.

People who compare themselves to the right people are able to achieve their goals a lot easer then someone who doesn’t. Take tucker for example, he is a 23 year old man and is working at the McDonalds of off Quebec street. Now don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against eating or working at any fast food restaurants, but Tucker has a lot of unrecognized potential. The thing is his whole life he always compared himself to the smartest people he could find and it made him think that he was not well educated, which is surtantly not the case he had about a 3.0 when he graduated highschool, but never experienced collage for fear of not being good anoff. Many people have or will incounter this type of sineryo were they look at the crème, delacrem of every thing and begin to degrade themselves. But there are also the people like Stacy.

Stacy is a cut girl around Tuckers age, but she has a good degree as a pediatric doctor. Her whole life, she compared herself with kids who were may a little more talented when it comes to ‘book smarts’ but that pushed her to do better to try and keep up with her fellow class mates. Stacy graduated High school with a strong 3.3 and felt good about her and went to a great collage.

The way you look and feel towards yourself have a tremendous effect on the outlook of your life. You should have a fairly high level of self-esteem and feel confident in yourself. Studies show that when a group of kids take a test there are those who finish slowly and those who finish fast. Researchers found that kids who finish fast and compare themselves to the fastest felt dissatisfied. When those who finished slow but compared themselves to the slowest felt that they had accomplished something. If certain individuals can’t keep up with the best, witch they don’t have to, and compare themselves to those people, it can drive them into thinking that they do not posses true talent. Which can then lead to mild cases of depression, leading the chilled into thinking that they are labeled as a, “dumb” person and therefore cannot obtain maximum sufficiency in life.

Have you ever had a friend or two that you really admired their skills or talents? Well, people who compare themselves to friends or loved ones, that have a special trait, can often get vary dishearten when they can’t pull off the skill. If you are ever savagely throw into this type of dilemma you can always think of your soon to be good friend, Sammy. Sammy is a 13teen year old, who love mashed potatoes and skateboarding. Johnny is Sammy’s best friend, or was…you see Johnny skates to, but he is extremely good and has been doing it for years, where Sammy is still learning. Any ways, Sammy began to compare his abilities to that of Jonnies, and became a little jealous. Soon Sammy’s jealousy became a fiery, crazed, ball of heated emotions that could blow at any given moment. Now, the two aren’t friends and Sammy hangs out with a real ruff crowed. I can only hope that you are beginning to realize that if a person has a special gift or ability, you cant get mad and jealous, well I guess you can, but you shouldn’t, you should give them there props, for real G!

So do you see that how you see yourself can and doe’s matter and how you compare yourself to people has a large effect. Just remember, there will always be the bigger the smaller the richer the poorer but it’s who you are, and the fact that you know it that will make the difference.
