How do you overcome fear of mediocrity?
00:02
No, your responsibility is to be better than yourself.
00:08
You are not to calibrate yourself against other people.
00:14
And how far have I come?
00:15
Where did I start from?
00:17
The battle that each of one fights or rather must fight
00:22
is not so much against others.
00:23
That battle has to be primarily against yourself.
00:27
How am I and how far have I come?
00:30
Where did I start from?
00:31
Ask yourself, how much have I improved?
00:34
And be on an endless journey of improvement.
00:38
No quantum of improvement is sufficient.
00:41
And we should not miss when we are talking of improvement,
00:44
something more important than improvement.
00:46
Improvement in the right direction.
00:49
You must choose the right goal, the right target,
00:53
and then keep improving towards it constantly.
00:57
It's as simple as that.
