I believe it is not all bad when beginning something new and different to use the performances of others as a means of measurement.
Others in similar situations establish the ground rules. They provide a yardstick.
But once we know the rules, we should turn our attention to what we are doing, not what others are doing or have done, don’t you think?
When the focus is on the performances of others, we lose sight of what we are capable of doing.
I have discovered that champions don’t waste time and energy concerning themselves with how others are performing.
They don’t lay awake at night thinking...
