Focus on your strengths
We live in a society of winners and losers. And we are constantly competing with each other to see whose lives are better.
But we should not be so concerned about our image or what others think about us. We should focus more on what we do and how well we do it, regardless of its perceived value by the world.
For every success, there is the next success, and for every failure, the next failure. In accepting defeat as inevitable and unimportant, we can focus on building our personal strengths.
In this world of winners and losers, everyone has different goals in life. If one goal is to be the best at something (e.g., musician) then that person will be competing with other musicians to see who's the best at playing music or who gets the most people to like their music.
If one goal is to be the best at something (e.g., racecar driver) then that person will be competing with other racers to see who's the fastest or who gets the most people to watch their races.
But if one goal is just to live life, then that person will not be competing with anyone but themselves and they will have different goals in life.
Regardless of what you do in life, it's important for you not to focus on being an individual winner, but to focus on your personal strengths and what makes you unique.
