There's certain attributes that each of us possesses that make us feel elevated or superior when compared to others. Esp those that we know we have a flair for or have an edge over the rest.
Like..e.g.
1. Being eloquent, articulated and able to write well. And gets away with uttering bullshit.
2. Having a natural genetic setup which gives you a higher than average physical fitness to rival a humping rabbit.
3. Having a face that makes makes women turn heads and guys wanna punch you.
4. Having a mental capacity of 200 TB and remembering every gal you scored or every guy who wanna /has already punched you.
5. Being tall/well-built/muscular like a pin-up poster boy. In every gay men's rooms.
6. Able to consume any forms of alcohol products by the gallons and be very comfortable in the company of camels.
7. Having a dream job/car/house/family background/education/girlfriend/ which makes every other woman drools and EVERY guy wanna punch you. TWICE.
8. Having cross-talents in multiple fields and believing you are Davinci-reincarnated.
9. Having an exceptional level of IQ or EQ.
Luckily God is fair, change is constant and human are ever-evolving.
In Chinese saying, 'There's always one mountain higher than the other', we can never be further than this observation. Fools you are, if you believe you will always be better than everyone. We might be, at a certain point of time, have an edge. But it's can only be tat sustained, isn't it? Even if we consistenly upgrade our know-hows, there's no guarantee someone better will not emerge from time to time. Competitions allow progessions, and comparisons are only indicative. You are only the best NOW, not forever! And in the larger pool of players on the bigger stage, you might juz drowned.
My point is, appreciate that leverage you got but stop your self-induced satisfaction and acting all smirky! Everyone remembers the champion. But no one loves a cocky one.
One bud said the hardest thing to train in the gym, is the ego. Another said humility is becoming an ancient legend. My mum told me filial piety can only be read in books, not seen.
And I think Life, is more than being an obnoxious, superduper asshole.
