NONPAREIL

NONPAREIL

No man is born supreme, with more abilities than others, or with greater powers, all men are born equal. Some may be born into better privileges and opportunities than others, but taking advantage of those privileges, and maximizing its potentials is entirely a different thing. Where you are born into, what you were born with, 'silver or wooden spoon' does not totally determine what will become of you.

Though we are born equal, some men have created a niche, a class, and a unique path for themselves. They have through various machineries of growth and progress developed for themselves a live different from that of others, they have separated themselves from the crowd, most of them have no equal in their fields. These men do not think like other men do, they do not consider themselves mere men, and do not act ordinary, they are NONPAREIL.

Every man's uniqueness is inside of him, every man has his strength, and weaknesses, but one who would transcend the ordinary would not dwell on his weaknesses but develop and thrive on his strengths, while making efforts to reduce weakness and increase strength. We do not necessarily have to be agitated about what and who we should become, but we must not always settle for less in all we do.

You do not have to be the best  of the pack, you just have to be the best of yourself, you have to be your own best today than your best yesterday, you have to be a growing being, not an aging being. Being the best does not have to be at what everyone does, but at what you do, even if you are the only person doing it. Be unique, be yourself, be the best, be NONPAREIL.
