Never Compare yourself with anyone. Research shows that in Olympics “Bronze medal winners are happier than Silver medal winners”

But why?

Silver medal winners compare themselves with Gold medal winners. Their mindset would be like, “ If I would have clocked a few seconds faster, then I would have win a gold medal”.

Bronze medal winners compare themselves with the other participants who have missed out the medals. Their mindset would be like, “ Thank god! I just clocked on time and won bronze!”

So what is the ultimate life implication from this research?

Upward comparison is stressful & Downward comparison is stress-free. It’s all about who you’re comparing yourself to.

Let me now correlate this with my real life scenarios.

Happy New Year 2019.

The new year is always special. It’s special because it is one day where a lot of memories, happenings of past year run through our mind. You get to reflect yourself what you have achieved, learned and most importantly how you have cope up with your life.

This blog is all about me. What I have conquered, what I have missed, my mistakes, my learnings, my accomplishments etc.. Yes. It’s time for me to reflect back the year 2018 !!

Imagine.

What makes you a creative person?

Uniqueness? Perceptions? Connecting the dots? Originality?

No.

You are creative, because you know how to Steal like an artist.

Yes. That is what Austin Kleon said in his book which talks about 10 things nobody told about being creative. This book , Steal Like an artist, transforms the logical thinking of creativity to many person in this world. I am one among them.

“I am sorry that you have to stand for so long because of me…

These are the words which Dr. Kalam told to his security guard for making him stand for a long time on his trip to IIM Shillong. Dr. Kalam = Humanity. Our Country gave him many names like “Missile man“, “People president” and so on. But the right name for him would be “A Real Human”
