In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be   36  with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit   37 . The only solution is to reach   38  and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more   39  measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your   40 .
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get   41 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for   42 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly   43 . The only direct and honest comparison is   44  yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only   45  to compare yourself to someone else if their life  46  is the same as your own. Good luck finding that   47 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can   48  someone is coming up fast   49  you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best   50 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to   51  you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who   52  if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of   53 . You are a more   54  person today than you were yesterday. Your own   55  is all you need.

As a young girl growing up in rural Alabama, I never understood why my mom spent so much time baking. And she always made my brother and me   36  her. A whole day every other week was devoted to making bread. It always made our small arms tired.

When I was a child, my parents taught me the difference between good and bad behavior by showing me specific examples. My mother told me that you don’t   36  other kids because you would not like    37  if they hit you. That makes   38   . But, if my mother told me to be “nice” to someone, it was too vague for me to   39 . But if she said that being nice               40   delivering daffodils to a next door neighbor, that I could understand.
I believe that doing practical things can  41   the world a better place. When I was in my twenties I thought a lot about the meaning of life. At the time, I was getting started in my  42    of designing more humane facilities for animals at big farms and slaughterhouses(屠宰場). Many people would think that to even work at a slauterhouse would be inhumane, but they   43  that every human and animal   44  dies. In my mind, I had a(n)   45   of a way to make tht dying as   46  as possible.
Back in the 1970s, I went to fifty different feedlots and big farms in Arizona and Texas and       47  them work cattle. I cataloged the parts of each facility that ­  48  effectively. I took the best loading ramps, and other components and  49    them into an ideal new system. I get great   50  when a farmer tells me that my corral (畜欄)  51  helps cattle move through it quietly and   52 . When cattle stay calm, it means they are not scared. And that makes me feel I’ve    53  something important.
Some people might think if I could snap my   54  I’d choose to be “normal”. But, I wouldn’t want to give up my    55   to see in beautiful, precise pictures. I believe in them.
