Some days back, I got a mail in which there was a way to be satisfied by comparing our life with the worse one….and then I tried to collect my life first….
I am from Gangapur City, a town; I don’t know why it has city in its name. I did my schooling from three schools. 1to 5 from Adarsh Vidhya Mandir, famous for its discipline..... 6 to 8 from Kapoor School, good for nothing, guys study here because they have fewer options……….and 9 to 12 from Govt. Sr. Sec School, the biggest school in the whole town and nearby area. Up to 5th, schooling was ok. But after that I didn’t find anything good in life. In Kapoor School, there was no play ground to play, we were having some streets where limited no. of games can be played, we were not taught any thing extra than our course….no quiz….no game.. kinda thing…and the result…I have no column of extra curriculum activities in my resume….even i appreciate the contribution of my next school in this blank space of extra curriculum activity column. In Govt. Sr. Sec. School….3 playgrounds with 6-7 or even more teams wishing to use them….. We were not having desks to sit in class room….we had to sit on floor…on carpet of cloths….sometimes that was also missing….worse thing, fans were not available for us in the classes. We were not having any knowledge of what to do in future. I did choose maths in 11th not because I wanted to become an engineer, but the reason was…I got 100% marks in math. I did not know any thing about pre engineering exams before going to Kota. I went there for preparation of RPET then I came to know there is something AIEEE. After 1 year preparation, I got 7321 all India rank. I was really very disappointed but only one who was responsible for that bad result was me and only me. Whatever, I got NIT Jamshedpur, civil. I heard a lot about college life from relatives and television… I was having lots of expectation from colg…I thought I will enjoy the things in college which I missed in school… but then the worst happened… We were having fans in classroom but electricity was missing. You will not find drinking water in the whole college campus. I did not get those basic stuffs how could I expect something special from the college. This college shattered my expectation and the four most important and fervent years of my life. And now, I am in Satyam and again expecting something good in life.
I found only bad things in my life. Some people say that I don’t want to see good things in my life by asking me to compare my self with a guy who is from a village and who don’t have any school in his near by area or who don’t have money to join any school…then my question to those guys is….why I should not compare my self with a city guy or a rich guy.
I really don’t understand one thing….why these people ask us to compare with ourselves with someone who is in worse condition….if they want to tell us the way to be satisfied then why they forget that one question can arise in our mind that why we r not comparing ourselves with someone who is in better condition…and that will make us more unsatisfied and unhappy.
I found only bad things of my schools and college because I compared them with some other institutes. I think this comparison thing can give us only dissatisfaction as a common man’s comportment is to compare himself with the better one not with the worse. He may feel some pity for them while comparing his life with worse ones but that is not satisfaction.

Excellent post...somewhat philosophical buddy but i agree that any sort of comparison makes us unhappy...So try to look at the things in a different way rather than just comparing...try to find enjoyment in every thing u do...
So when will you stop thinking and start doing??
Who do you expect to come for your??
Krishna/Ram or Raavan :D
See if you see the negative side always, then it means that somehow somewhere you want to see the better side as well, cheer up lad, Life is Beautiful :)
great post.. first time listening from your heart :)
Very true..This insatiable human mind will crib at anything even if he's been provided with the best. Thats the way we are..we always see us in a worse condition relating to someone who's for that matter a bit better than us.
But at the same time I feel that the greatest and the most successful persons of all times didn't believe in that. They strived for the best and they achieved that with continuous effort. Now imagine if all those scientists and reformers were contented with themselves or their society..Will this present world look like the way it is...??
In short getting satisfied with oneself wont lead to any progress..it really won't let him raise his standards.
So my theory is Never be satisfied with yourselves or you'll be just like another toad in the well who's happy with himself not having a slightest clue that there's far better life & places than where he dwells !
comparison is just comparitive.
if you go into a richer neighbourhood then u will be poorer than them and if you go into poorer neighbourhood you will be richer than them.
it just depends on the perspective, but its always better to be in the poorer neighbour hood and feel richer
just dont compare yourself to anyone..
