Never try to be better than someone else. Learn from others, and try to be the best you can be. Success is the by-product of that preparation.

John Wooden

My bench never heard me mention winning. My whole emphasis was for each one of my players to try to learn to execute the fundamentals to the best of their ability. Not to try to be better than somebody else, but to learn from others, and never cease trying to be the best they could be; that's what I emphasized more than anything else.

John Wooden

You should never try to be better than someone else, you should always be learning from others. But you should never cease trying to be the best you could be because that's under your control and the other isn't.

John Wooden

When you are wanting to comfort someone in their grief take the words 'at least' out of your vocabulary. In saying them you minimise someone else's pain...Don't take someone else's grief and try to put it in a box that YOU can manage. Learn to truly grieve with others for as long as it may take.

Kay Warren

The only way that I can do better than someone else, maybe they're better at something else, but they'll never beat me at work.

Kevin McCarthy

A rationalist is simply someone for whom it is more important to learn than to be proved right; someone who is willing to learn from others - not by simply taking over another's opinions, but by gladly allowing others to criticize his ideas and by gladly criticizing the ideas of others

Karl Popper

You, and you alone, are the person who should take the measure of your own success. . . . I do not try to be better than anyone else. I only try to be better than myself.

Dan Jansen

Never try to be better than somebody else. But most importantly, never cease trying to be the best you can be.

John Wooden

The problem with comparison is that you always feel either better than someone else or worthless compared to someone else.

Dillon Burroughs

Every man in the world is better than someone else and not as good someone else.

William Saroyan

If we don't love ourselves, we would not love others. When someone tell you to love others first, and to love others more than ourselves; it is impossible. If you can't love yourselves, you can't love anybody else. Therefore we must gather up our great power so that we know in what ways we are good, what special abilities we have, what wisdom, what kind of talent we have, and how big our love is. When we can recognize our virtues, we can learn how to love others.

Ching Hai

Happy Wednesday! Practice compassion. Lift others. Learn to encourage rather than criticize. You'll feel better when you help others feel better.

Tracey Edmonds

Baseball gives every American boy a chance to excel, not just to be as good as someone else but to be better than someone else. This is the nature of man and the name of the game.

Ted Williams

Never learn to do anything: if you don't learn, you'll always find someone else to do it for you.

Mark Twain

That's because you've never been one. You haven't spent years wearing someone else's clothes, taking someone else's name, living in someone else's houses, and working someone else's job to fit in. And if you don't sell out, then you run away... proving you're the Gypsy they said you were all along.

Jodi Picoult

In the discharge of the duties of this office, there is one rule of action more important than all others. It consists in never doing anything that someone else can do for you.

Calvin Coolidge
