I completely agree with this quote by Hemmingway. In life, we often compare ourselves with others and try to out-do our fellow humans. Competition in moderation is healthy, but we should more often than not be trying to out-do our past self rather than our neighbor. In a world of so much greatness, we must realize that there is no such thing as perfection yet there is always room for improvement, especially improving ourselves. We can and should always strive to be the best we can be and always try to improve upon our past selves to become better people.
There will always be people better than us no matter what we do, unless we are the best. To be the best at something is a remarkable task and of course is only possible for one person to accomplish. Rather than try to be the best at something, we must strive to be the best WE can be, regardless of where others fall into place. Being better or superior to someone else is no great achievement but becoming superior to your former self is truly noble. Looking down upon others is not something to be proud of. However, looking down at your previous self and knowing that you are better than that is a remarkable achievement that all should strive for.
