1. I think we, as ordinary beings of this very meritocratic world, are mostly pretty much concerned with our own performance or progress or whatevs, To be rather truthful, I don't ever fancy being termed the 'Underdogs'. However, just like its usually colder at the mountaintop, not everyone has ability/propensity/intensity to be at the top, probably just a few 'lucky' ones.
I always believe, you give some you take some, these 'lucky' few had probably given what I was reluctant/neglected to give, in exchange of those certain privileges of being at the top, so, I should not feel bitter, in fact I should try to find out how to get better. Exactly.
2. I always have to catch myself from spiralling into a couple of specific thoughts. Most poisonous of all, 'The Grass is always Greener on the Other Side.' Without a doubt, this could be true in some instance, but I should not allow it to affect me in a negative way.
Like how I imagined, I thought I could do better with no supervision, when really, it just allows me to reduce my effort way more than I should, thinking no one will notice. When I was told to work on my business in a certain marketing channel, I always thought my other colleague, who does their marketing in a different channel, had it easier. Over the time, I did test the latter. Conclusion? It's mostly about hard work, intensity, tenacity and if truth be told, none of those methods were easy. So, I should not use this 'The Grass is always Greener on the Other Side' as an excuse of my Fear of Failure.
