00:00First thing, there is nothing wrong with comparison.
00:04Looking at somebody else's marks or performance or salary or success is useful but only in
00:10a limited way.
00:11You can look at them just to get a clearer idea of where your current performance stands.
00:17That's the only utility.
00:18Beyond that, the others are not a benchmark.
00:20You are born alone, you will die alone.
00:22What will you do with others?
00:24The world has to be very delicately utilized.
00:28On one hand, you cannot ignore how the others are doing.
00:32You have to have your eyes open, you need to see how your classmates are performing
00:36in business, how your competitors are performing, what's going around in the world.
00:40You need to have a sense and idea of worldly affairs.
00:45On the other hand, you cannot allow the world mean too much to you.
00:49There has to be a tightrope walk.
00:51It's a delicate thing.
