You try to do the best with what you've got and ignore everything else. That's why horses get blinders in horse racing: You look at the horse next to you, and you lose a step.
— Jimmy Iovine
Comparison is one of the most natural human impulses. And one of the most destructive.
The moment you look at what someone else is doing, you lose focus on what you're doing. It doesn't matter how fast they're going.
What matters is whether you're running your own race as well as you can.
