In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be 36 with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit 37. The only solution is to reach 38 and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more 39 measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your 40.

Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get 41, or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for 42. It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly 43. The only direct and honest comparison is 44yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.

My opinion is that you are only 45 to compare yourself to someone else if their life 46 is the same as your own. Good luck finding that 47. And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can 48 someone is coming up fast 49 you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best 50.

Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to 51 you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who 52 if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of 53. You are a more 54 person today than you were yesterday. Your own 55 is all you need.( )36. A. patient B. strict C. content D. concerned( )37. A. stronger B. better C. lazier D. wiser( )38. A. inside B. out C. for D. up( )39. A. accurate B. useful C. careful D. powerful( )40. A. end B. best C. convenience D. side( )41. A. satisfied B. busy C. inspired D. lazy( )42. A. nothing B. fun C. sure D. success( )43. A. equal B. unique C. alike D. common( )44. A. within B. by C. for D. of( )45. A. instructed B. allowed C. directed D. suggested( )46. A. situation B. position C. occasion D. accommodation( )47. A. game B. match C. friend D. enemy( )48. A. conclude B. bet C. announce D. declare( )49. A. before B. beside C. below D. behind( )50. A. assistant B. competitor C. coach D. teacher( )51. A. contribute B. expose C. push D. devote( )52. A. cares B. says C. wonders D. asks( )53. A. effort B. sense C. difference D. change( )54. A. successful B. happy C. lucky D. fit( )55. A. benefit B. progress C. habit D. result
