Honestly, I don't consider myself as better than everyone else, because I believe that there's a lot of people better than me and I accept that. Good day sharie!

indeed...but i was trying to believe on my capabilities...lol...but actually i try not to be so offensive by doing that, i mean , i share my thoughts and knowledge but not to the fact that i was so perfect that they would all believe me...i just show that whenever i can share some of it, then i do share it...i try not to be very too proud of myself, that would not get any negative reaction... thanks for the post, my friend! God bless! +rating!

I will consider my self to be better to some ple in certain areas, but not to everyone else in all areas ^_^ hehe =D I'm proud of my own achievements, and i will usually preserve my own strong points, observe around and if i know i can surpass them, only then i will challenge them and show them who's the real boss.. lol =D In this way, i can save myself the embarassment if i din manage to be the best, and also, i can learn not to be arrogant and allow myself tp be challenged.. hehe

well yeah, you should always be sure not to embarrass yourself, but in either way, we should always believe on ourselves and take every work as a challenge to ourselves but we should not be boastful to others, we should keep that to ourselves and not to proud, we should just make it us our motivation! thanks for sharing! have a nice day!

I do not consider myself better than anyone everyone else. In life there is always better than you and likewise there are those that you are better of. Definitely as we go on with this journey that we call life, we will always meet someone who could be greater or lesser than us. Best to you!

yes indeed it is, as i've said, it's not all but to some, but for some reason we keep that to ourselves if we think we are better to someone and keep that motivatio to pursue to achieve others better than us, they can be a great model to achieve our dreams too...hope that makes sense... thanks for sharing! have a nice day!

Yes, at times I think that I am better than any one else. But it is the way human beings are. My father told me that when a baby is born, angels come down to bless it and they whisper in baby's ear : You are the best and wisest person on this earth. Do not reveal this to any one. And when we grow up we all keep thinking all our lives that we are the best.

Sometimes I make joke to my friends that I am better than me. But, honestly I do not consider myself better than others. Humbly, I just want to consider myself a follower not a leader. happymylotting!

I have never thought that i am the greatest person and in any respect. I strive to be good at somethings and will try to be the best, but would never think i'm the greatest. My ego has never reached there, atleast till now.

I think there is a point in our teens that is normal, espcially anyone older than you are, how can they know ANYTHING. Actually, I never was that way, my sister wasn't too much that way, but we had watched our brother make a FOOL of himself so we did have an example to not follow! I think that people that "cling" to that world view are very sad immature people. Now, if you have it when you are young, that's normal, and occasionally it'll probably crop up again, but people that have it all the time are like emotionally stunted at their teens.

I have never considered myself better than everyone else. And i don't think there is anyone out there better than me. You start thinking that way and pretty soon you believe it, and before long everyone else picks up on your attitude and most won't like it. So it turns out to be a good way to loose friends.

halu sharie16.. I admire your upbeat attitude and humor.. :) I've rarely considered myself better than everyone else. Although I was top of my kindergarten class (where I even debated with my teacher about the "little boy" in the Baa-Baa Black Sheep nursery rhyme), my confidence level somehow made a slight downturn when was accelerated to Grade One. My classmates were bigger and older than me and I was afraid that they will bully me if I outshone the rest of them. Since then, I've almost always made it a point not to be "competitive" and just perform mid-range; I've developed the mindset that there'll always be someone better than me as well as someone who's lesser than me so I'll just have to "compete" against myself and not compare myself with anyone else.. thank you for starting this discussion topic. happy myLotting to you as well.. :)

Yes i have always consider myself better than others as this feeling gives me an extra confidence and this confidence makes me to dominate others.

People are people, where ever you go some are better than others. Einstein was smarter than me, but I am a better soccer player than he ever was. Who is better? It comes down to a matter of opinon. I know it is an excagerated comparison, however an example. You can be the best in the world at something but there will be millions if not billions that are better than you on other things. It all comes down to what is important to you as a person. I believe myself to be better than others on countless things as well as other being better than me on countless other things. But I do not concentrate on the others, instead I let myself shine on the things I am confident in, thus making me better than others. Like wise you guys should think the same way, reason being, I have tried to see myself as no more than equal than others. However this is a self-defeating way of thinking. If you are better there is no shame in hiding it. Nature encourages this way of thinking, seperating the alpha from the beta. If you want to be an alpha male female then believe in yourself. Saber
