Day 189 of wisdom
“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.”
Ernest Hemingway
True nobility is not in what you make of yourself, but what you make of other people. You do not become truly noble by becoming superior to your fellow men, but you become noble when you become better than the person you were the day before today. To attain nobility, you must always make determined, and consistent effort to be a better person today than you were yesterday.
Anyone who have striven hard to get to the top, and realizes how difficult it is to get there must not neglect the ones who are struggling to attain same level he is, but must look for ways of assisting, and making it easy for those ones to attain great heights also. Anyone who help make others grow, and attain heights of greatness can hardly fall from the top, his place at the top will only be consolidated.
Seek not to be better than your fellow men, but seek to be better today than your former self. Do not revel in your superiority to anyone, but rejoice in the fact that your former self is no more a competition to your new self. Your biggest competition is no other than the man you were yesterday, so, winning the battle against yourself is to have won the ultimate battle.
There is no limit to what you can become, or heights you can attain in life, you only need to continue to grow, continue to develop yourself, and continue to aim high every passing day. Someone once said. "The biggest room in the world is the room for improvement" improvement is a continuous striving, and success has no end point, like Benjamin Franklin said, “Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning. “ every success attained is a platform for greater success, so, always go for more.
