Road to the Mastery of Self

We grew up with a myth. The myth says: Try harder to be ‘better’. Be better than everyone else…The reality is that ‘better’ is not better. Better is a mirage. It keeps you chained to the same way of working as your competition. Better is temporary. Better is a flimsy edge that can be toppled in a millisecond by someone with a bigger following, a lower price, a more convenient location, a fancier degree, a shinier award, a newer technology, a more skillful skill. Better is not always better. Sometimes, it's worse…Different is better than better. Different doesn't try to turn you into something else. Different allows you to highlight the singular traits you already have within you Sally Hogshead
