He was 23 and always wondered if he was good enough. whenever he saw someone else standing in a queue he always thought, he never had a chance after that. he always found others better than him. He went for the interview and saw a candidate walking out. he evaluated his clothes and the way the other person walked. he thought he could never do in comparison with that person. He walked out even before giving the interview. When he finally got one, he always lacked the confidence to talk to his boss or give his presentation or give his viewpoint. He always thought he would mess up!
So what was happening there?
He was looking at other’s strengths and own weaknesses
He was comparing and losing confidence.
So what should he and we all do?
Know own strengths.
Stop comparing.
Know that everyone has some weak points and some strong points. Other’s strengths do not mean our weaknesses.
We need to focus on own strengths and work on them.
It is like if someone is good in content writing and starts comparing herself for another lady who was good in programming. Why should she? They both have own skills and they both are good in own field. They both have to know what they are good at and they both have to work on that. Once we do that, we would realize our own strengths and how gifted we are.
Be who you are and you will discover yourself.
What would be the change in environment?
Once we start seeing own strengths, others also would see us for same. But before others, we need to see that!
