19. Outrunning the bear
Two lawyers were walking through a forest. Suddenly both of them spotted a vicious-looking bear.
The first lawyer immediately opened his briefcase, pulled out a pair of sneakers and started putting them on. The second lawyer looked at him and said, "You are crazy! You will never be able to outrun that bear! Do you think you can outrun that bear?'
The first lawyer said, 'I don't have to outrun the bear. I just have to outrun you!'
Many a time, if you win over whoever you perceive as your competitors, you think your life is successful. If you are richer than your neighbor you think you are successful. If you have a better job than your brothers, you think you are successful. Understand: even if you are a millionaire, if you are measuring your own success against someone else's failure, you are in poverty: you are in perpetual crisis, just fighting for survival.
