When you stop comparing yourself to others, you can accomplish great things, says wheelchair athlete Dean Furness. He shares how, after losing the use of his legs in an accident, he discovered a powerful new mindset focused on redefining his “personal average” and getting better little by little.

I am listening to this for a class, it is seriously a great inspirational !!! Best wishes to this young man.
You can't pretend you're not comparing. It's inevitable. Life is a comparision, success is a comparison, misery is a comparison. Weather you compare with yourself or with others, weather you feel confident about yourself or you feel depressed. It's always there in the back of head.
That's a real man
Wow, salute to his courage & confidence!
जीवन की हर समस्या ट्रैफिक की लाल बत्ती की तरह होती है,
यदि हम थोड़ी देर प्रतीक्षा कर लें,
तो वह हरी हो जाती है,
धैर्य रखें, प्रयास करें, समय बदलता ही है।
Great talk
"By moving on to next as fast as possible, you shrink the time you spend time on those bad scenarios and it gives more time for the good. Your average increases and that's just how the math works." Makes sense to me?
Best information I have heard on this topic.

I think this is a great talk and one of the biggest issues I struggle with when I compare myself to others. I am working towards running more often and as much as I like to compete it is about celebrating your own accomplishments
It's difficult. Everybody's gotten oportunities.
I feel a lot of pressure about my grades in school, i used to be the top 1 and i always get a massive compliment, and when time change, people around me gets disappointed when my grades drop and that's when it all started, i always compare myself to other, and i hate when someone's grade is higher than mine
I suffered from anxiety, im overthinking, but now im getting better and better because all of us are in different phase, and we all need to get successful so we can have better future
if you feel about your grades and keep comparing yours to other, you need to move on and mind your own stuff because in the end of the day thing won't matter that way
if you comparing your self to other you will not see your self trought and you forgot to do things and happines in your life will fading out because you comparing your self to others instead of enjoying everything and to be greatful of what you have and be contented they listen to the dark side thats why they dont really hapoy or satisfied what of what they have we all know that we are born in different style of humanity and not the same so dont expect a comaprison and dont look to others what they achieve or what they have done to instead of doing that just focus on your self improvement and do all your best to be successful and be a supportive sibbling
no matter what life have to come just keep open minded and use a positive attributes to over come this situation
dont waste your enjoyment just keep continuing what god gave you and be happy with it and accept it
god will not leave you nor for sake you because they have care that you are alone
He speaks too fast
This was amazing

Personally, I have a problem with comparing my feelings, which makes them feel so small they don't matter, and I could try and describe it myself, but I think this quote I saw does it pretty well. "You might think that you don't have the right to be upset about something because someone else is going through something worse."
"Life is not a race, you're not living to defeat others, you're not here to be the best of all the people because there is no best in anything, You are here to be the best version of yourself, The only person you should try to defeat is who you were yesterday."
I will give you the answer of how to measure your success, whatever your condition is. Prophet Muhammad(saw) had answer it 1400 years ago." In Islam your success depend on how much you are pious to Allah"
