Are We Not Really Competing With Ourselves? by Venerable612(m): 9:16am On Nov 13, 2014
Dz morning i was jst tinkin.

While we were yunga... Our mum wud b lyk.. "Samuel!... When will u change... Ah ah. look at John, the neighbour's son. Always comin first in his class. Bt U... U r too playful. Hardly lo ma fi nshey ipo keta (dats if u wia even briliant)"
That moment... U begin to nurture dz beef in ur heart weneva u c John. And u try to do evritin to prove dat U r beta dan Him.

After a little we start too av dz insatiable desire for things.

U want to go to the best university, so u wont look odd befor ur secondary skul frends.

U want to study law/medicine/Engineering, because thats what most of ur peers r studying.

Still, U want to be the best student in the class. To prove that u r better than others.

At our various working place, we stil wnt to flaunt our credentials. We wnt to use the best car...phones.. And even wen we get promoted...we soon start to crave higher positions!

As if dats nt enuf... We wnt to to marry d most beutiful lady... And av a Talk of d town's marraige.

And again... Indeed, Worst of all.. We want to be influential than evrione around us.

#The irony of it all... z dat... There will always be somone better u. That person we will always pursue and we wil neva meet. And at death. We will only realize that we were actually competiting with ourselves#
