00:00If I look at someone at the same age, in terms of money is earning more than me,

00:04that somewhere makes me low confident or question myself.

00:08If you're not thirsty and you find someone gulping down an entire jug of water,

00:14does that encourage you to have a glass for yourself?

00:17No.

00:18The other fellow is earning more money.

00:21Don't you want to ask yourself, how much importance does money hold for you?

00:25The fellow was getting X and you got 1.2X.

00:28You won the comparison.

00:29Now what?

00:30What will you do with all that cash or whatever or stocks?

00:33What will you do with it?

00:34Has that really given you contentment in the past?

00:37You have to ask yourself, what is it that my inner self is really thirsty for?

00:44Your thirst will not be quenched by looking at all kinds of foods the others are consuming.

00:52In fact, if you're thirsty and the other one is biting into cheesy pizza

00:57and you too pick up a piece for yourself, that would only aggravate your thirst.

01:02So comparisons can actually be very harmful, counterproductive.
