Stop comparing yourself with others. If they are good at something, you too are good at something else. Self-confidence is not measured by your own capabilities versus that of others, but by your own needs.

Stephen Richards
About This Quote

To compare yourself to others is a sure way to let yourself down. In order for you to grow, you must strive to become better than others. However, this goal is impossible if you think you are better than them at something. Such thinking just leads to feeling inferior and will prevent you from doing well in your life.

The best thing you can do is to develop your own set of standards and use that as a basis for your self-confidence. If you think you are better than others at something, you will always be trying to one-up them and never satisfied with the results.
