In this Issue of Let-Us-relate! newsletter: 1. Life is not a competition! 2. Inspirational Quotes 3. Watch a video of the web-building process ........................................................................................ 1.Life is not a competition! Life is not a dress rehearsal, but it is also not a competition nor is it a race. I read a story about a young man who was almost involved in what could have been a terrible car accident, just because he wanted to beat his cousin, (who was just driving and not racing with him), to their destination (what he perceived to be a finish line). The young man asked: 'how can I be less of a show-off? I almost did something stupid and drastic just to prove that I can beat someone.' There is a lesson to be learnt here. What we can take from the young man's lesson is that: 1. Life is not a race 2. It is pointless and foolish to compete with someone who is not in the competition 3. People who compete have serious self-esteem issues and are cowards (at least the other party needs to know they are in a competition, for it to be fair) 4. Trying to prove yourself (trying to beat others to the finish line where none exists)can lead to accidents. Don't fall trying to beat someone to an imaginary finish line. 5. We should all just concentrate on our lives, our goals, without using others' achievements/failures as yardsticks - Don't get me wrong, we can use other people'stories to motivate us in a constructive, not destructive way. Compare and learn, then go forward with your own plans - at your own pace. Check out the first quote in this issue, it sums up what I am talking about very nicely. ........................................................................................ 2.
