"It is not comparing with the others, it is comparing with what you were yesterday. By advancing, one step further is already a Victory."

Adapted from “Dialogue with Youth of 21st Century" By Daisaku Ikeda

Question:
We do see people compare themselves to other but then what wrong with that, isn't it what is purpose to be?

In our everyday lives,no matter big or small matters, we often compare ourselves to others. But honestly, whats the point of comparing? (Your mark will change to A if you compare issit?)

Here's my answer,( and no your mark won't become an A if you do.) What matters the most is the struggle for improvement between yourself. This is something that canot be compared with external factors (Like other people). It all boils down to your will to accomplish what you are going for.

Like companies, they mainly focus on comparision between before and after.
Eg.
You are a small, new drinks company that has been makin improvements but you compare youreslf with PEPSI (HUGE company, mind you) You end up feeling demoralised in spite of improving. And then you feel like punching the boss of PEPSI, ripping his bones and cooking him for curry and... arh see bad kharma already =)

So be realistic . Therefore by comparing ourselves to yesterday, will be more beneficial and you feel better overall.
