ExcellenceToo

Donald Trump in Trump:101 asked, “why compete with others when you can beat yourself?”

Perfection.

What we wish we were. What we think we should be.

It used to be about what They think, but it’s not anymore. It’s about Us.

It’s about not being good enough for our Self. We don’t fit with our own image of perfection.

We can not forgive ourselves for not being what we believe we should be.

Hard work.

We’re already competing with our Self to be the best. We don’t need to compete with others too.

Competing with others could lower our standards.

Our Self is enough for us to battle with.
