You must be better than yourself yesterday.

"You don't have to be better than everyone else.

But you must be better than yourself yesterday. "

-

"The most terrible enemy is not the one standing in front of it, but the 'habituation' of ourselves in the past. Trying to be better than others is a never-ending game, because the world will always be better than us. But trying to be better than ourselves yesterday is a game we can win every day. And it is the only way to achieve the most lasting and peaceful success."

-

Stop putting your whole life on someone else's ruler because each person's speed is not the same. Your only job is to increase your "today" with good things or new skills by at least 1% compared to yesterday. That's why you won.

-

Racing against others makes us "stressed," but racing against ourselves makes us "grown up." The real achievement is not to stand above anyone, but to look back and find out how far we've walked beyond the original point.

-

Accept today's defeat, but don't stop upgrading yourself tomorrow, because winning the whole world means nothing if you're still the same person who's been stationary for years.

-

Deep Question:

"If today you have to write yourself a record of success...There's only one thing you've done better than yesterday, and how close is that taking you to your 'best version'? "

... Read moreการพัฒนาตนเองเป็นเรื่องที่หลายคนพูดถึงแต่ทำได้ยาก เพราะสิ่งที่ขัดขวางเรามากที่สุดคือ 'ความเคยชิน' และการยึดติดกับตัวตนเดิมๆ ที่เราคุ้นเคย ในชีวิตประจำวันผมพบว่าการตั้งเป้าหมายเล็กๆ ที่ท้าทายตัวเองให้เก่งกว่าตัวเองเมื่อวานเป็นวิธีที่มีประสิทธิภาพมากกว่าการพยายามแข่งกับคนอื่น ตัวอย่างเช่น ในแต่ละวันผมจะพยายามเรียนรู้สิ่งใหม่ ๆ หรือพัฒนาทักษะที่มีอยู่ให้ดีขึ้นอย่างน้อย 1% ซึ่งอาจฟังดูน้อย แต่หากทำอย่างสม่ำเสมอและต่อเนื่อง ผลลัพธ์จะเป็นการเติบโตที่มากและยั่งยืนในระยะยาว การบอกตัวเองว่า "วันนี้ฉันดีขึ้นกว่าวานนี้" ทำให้ผมมีแรงจูงใจและความสุขในการเรียนรู้ แม้จะเจอความล้มเหลวก็ตาม นอกจากนี้ การไม่เปรียบเทียบตัวเองกับผู้อื่นช่วยลดความเครียดและความกดดันในการดำเนินชีวิต ความสำเร็จที่แท้จริงจึงไม่ใช่การเป็นคนที่เก่งที่สุด แต่เป็นการที่เรามองย้อนกลับไปแล้วเห็นว่าเราได้เติบโตและพัฒนามากแค่ไหนเมื่อเทียบกับอดีตของตัวเอง สำหรับคนที่กำลังรู้สึกท้อแท้หรือถอยหลัง ลองตั้งคำถามว่า "วันนี้มีอะไรที่ฉันทำได้ดีขึ้นบ้าง" และตั้งใจที่จะอัปเกรดตัวเองในวันพรุ่งนี้ แม้จะเป็นก้าวเล็ก ๆ แต่นั่นคือชัยชนะประจำวันที่ช่วยสร้างความสำเร็จอย่างยั่งยืนในอนาคต
