Don't make unnecessary enemies—it's just common sense.

Stepping on someone else won't make you feel good; it'll just cost you a friend. Don't bother with things like that.

Don’t compare your outcomes with others. Someone running faster than you might have better shoes, better luck, or a completely different starting point—effort is hardly the only factor.
The only meaningful comparison is with yourself. Surpassing who you were yesterday is more than enough to be proud of.

What you want depends on what you have, and the price is what you're willing to give up.
The law of conservation of energy already explains that.

Self-awareness is the surest way to manage your own expectations. After thinking through the cost, most desires fade away on their own—like ordering food, glancing at the menu without forgetting the price list. Generally, once you've seen the prices, many dishes don't seem quite so tempting anymore.

Good person, bad person—these terms are only for the dead.
Only after someone dies can their life be judged.
"You're a good person" has already sealed your fate.
