"Comparison lowers self-esteem, collaboration redeems your strengths."
Is there any human who doesn't dream of success? The answer is no.
As each one is born a winner. However, societal rules put people against each other. In the process, we make three mistakes; Comparison, Competition, and Criticism. These 3 C's should be replaced with Collaboration, Cooperation, and Compliment.
Comparison brings in jealousy, frustration, and anger. While cooperation gives support. The criticism highlights negative aspects, whereas, appreciation delivers motivation.
The great words of Chanakya, “Success is threefold — that attainable by the power of counsel is a success by counsel, that attainable by the power of might is a success by might, that attainable by the power of energy is a success by energy," gives us three tips to walk on the path of success.
•𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗹- Regardless of age and status, everyone needs someone to guide them throughout. The better the mentor is, the better the results will be. As Chanakya says, "All undertakings or activities should be started only with the help of advisers, or with the guidance of experts of that particular field (subject matter experts." Choose your teacher who is best at their work, even though you need to wait for a little while to seek their advice. Because the best rewards require the best guidance.
•𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁- Strength can be shown either by muscles or by the mighty. The person who holds a chair carries the authority to execute. One can achieve this when one associates oneself with someone mightier than themselves.
•𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆- It resembles willpower. The words of Swami Vivekananda are, "Human will is the most powerful force in the world.” This tells that an energetic person is like a contagious disease that can spread its power to the people around them. With every generation, a few become leaders. It requires proper knowledge of opportunities, which can aid an individual to think and become a leader.
Let us together achieve this state by giving each other a helping hand!!
