My struggle with myself and some unpleasant truths

How are you all? I hope you are all well, taking care of your bodies. Today, I don't know why my mind is a little heavy, so I thought I would share some things with you. These words are not the language of a book, or to give anyone knowledge, I am speaking from my own understanding of life.

We, humans,s are actually very strange, aren't we? When we start a task or do a little hard work all day, at the end of the day, we feel a huge sense of satisfaction. When I finish work and lie down on the bed, I feel—"Wow! I feel like I have done a mountain of work today. Maybe no one else is suffering like me." I want to pat myself on the back. It seems that I have come a long way on the path to success.

But this is exactly where we made a big mistake. A difficult truth has been bothering me a lot for the past few days. And the truth is— "No matter how hard you or I work, it is a constant truth that in some other corner of the world, someone else is working much harder than you are right now."

It hurts to hear that, doesn't it? I did too. At first, I thought, so is my sweat worthless? But think about it a little. Right now, you or I may be comfortably using your mobile phone, or thinking that I have done a lot of work today, at this very moment, someone else may be working by cutting back on their sleep. Some may be because of their stomach, and some may be fighting with all their might, lost in the dream of touching the sky.

While I am sleeping comfortably, maybe one of my competitors is awake, wanting to learn something new. But the world does not stop for us. When we think "I am the best" or "I have nothing else to do," that is when our downfall begins. Because complacency makes people lazy. We forget that our race is not with others, but with our yesterday's self.

I am not saying these words to scare you. To be honest, I am saying these words to myself. Because I also suffer from laziness sometimes. It seems like a lot has happened. How much more? But whenever I remember that someone is working hard to surpass me, I feel strong again. It seems like no, it is not the time to stop now.

Actually, life is like an escalator. If you stand still, you will go down. So,o without consoling yourself or falsely boasting, let us accept reality. Let our hard work not be for show, but for fulfilling our own dreams. So, before I end, I will say one thing: do not be disappointed by comparing ourselves with others. Just keep in mind that whatever you are doing is not the last word. The limits of your power are much further. Even if it is a little difficult, keep trying with your best.

I've said a lot of things. I don't know if I was able to say them in a coherent way. If I said something wrong, please forgive me. May everyone be well and healthy.
