Getting Better

Dimmer Beach: When I was in high school I played tennis. I wasn’t the best tennis player on the team, but I improved quicker by playing people who were better than me, and I carried that mindset with me throughout my life.

If you surround yourself with people that are more talented or skilled than you, they push you to be better.

Another good example of this is in the game of chess (games in general, really). You will be pushed by a more experienced player. Yes, it might be frustrating to lose, and lose often, but your skills will grow, and that’s the important thing.
