Comparing yourself to someone else is neverproductive or positive. There's always going to besomeone who is younger, prettier, smarter, or richerthan you. If you keep coveting what someone elsehas, then this may cause you to be resentful ofthem, which will open a whole other negative can ofworms. Remember, what they don't have is yourwhole package. Be appreciative of what you have,because if you want to play the comparison game,remember that there are people who are also worseoff than you are.

参考译文：和别人比较永远不是有效率和积极的表现。总有比你年轻，漂亮，聪明，富有的人。如果你始终关注别人拥有什么，会带来你对他们的恨意，随即带来更多消极的想法。记住，你所拥有的也是他们所没有的。珍惜你所拥有的东西，如果真的想和别人比较，也别忘了总有比你差的人。
