I’ve always done my best to live by this idea. To be better today than I was yesterday. It’s a fairly simple concept and falls directly in line with the idea that we must not compare ourselves to others, as hard as that can be.
“World’s greatest inventions” as a Google search produces hundreds of millions of results in a split second.
