Comparison is the thief of joy.
Not just business.
But in family relations too.
(story time)

It was a casual family night dinner.
Until my parents started asking me:
"What have you been doing these past days?"
Just to give context: it is winter break.
I have been grinding with the extra time.
But all they see is: me being addicted to my laptop.
Clicking away.
They got worried.
They compared me to 'the neighbor's kid'.
(who is working a part-time job at a store)
They bragged about his salary and told me to do the same.
I felt insulted.
But I kept my head down and stayed quiet.
I wanted to:
• Explain
• Show off
However, it was not worth it.
Action speaks way louder than words.
Until the results are so big that no one can compare.
That's when I tell.
Lesson?
Stay quiet.
Let the results speak for itself.
That's it.

Then hell yeah haha.
Call me though if you need to revolutionize your business.
