I have extremely little courage myself, much less than you; but I have found that whenever, after a long struggle, I have screwed my courage up to do something I always felt much freer & happy after it.

Ludwig Wittgenstein
About This Quote

Comparing yourself to others is a very dangerous thing. It’s easy to think that you are better or are more brave or are better at what you do than others. But the reality is that people are different and there are no “best” people. Like Dr.

Seuss says, “What I Am is Unpredictable.” People may think they have more courage than you, but that doesn’t mean they have more courage than you. They might think they have more courage because they have looked at themselves as courageous and not as afraid or shy or insecure about what they were doing.
