Build a Bigger Block

A concrete block is set down in front of you.  Your task is to make it smaller.  What do you do?

Break out a chisel and hammer and start chipping away at it?  Get a rotary sander and try trimming a little bit off at a time?  Start wailing away at it with a sledge?

Or you could build a second, much bigger block right next to it, making the first block appear tiny.

Do the same thing when you compete with others.

Focus on your improvement, your knowledge, and your development.  Make yourself more by making yourself more, not by making others less.
