Comparison

Comparison is the thief of joy.  Theodore Roosevelt

In our family, we have a strict rule - you only compare yourself to yourself.  From a scientific perspective, that is the only real way to measure if you have improved.  It doesn't make sense to compare you to someone else, because you can't control them and you have different skills so it would be an inaccurate measurement.

So when I found this quote by Theodore Roosevelt, I thought it was brilliant.
