Don't count others' dollars, count your rupees.

Since today's world grasp the money language more efficiently, this is the best way to make you understand something mentioned below.

Don't compare your life with other's, it's not the right way. Life is wholesome of your deeds, your time you spent, your emotions you endured so when it comes to comparison then why compare it with others?

If you really want to compare something, then compare your deeds, your investments, your finances, the people you gathered with respect to your time. Compare your today's with your yesterday's and not of others or with others.

I see a few ads in which some websites help you to check your credit scores for free, i.e. your financial credit score. What it does is, it checks your payment history, current debt, length of credit and types of credit. All these are fed to a computer program with sets of algorithms to generate a score which helps you to get loans for future. While designing this program, the designers and developers might have thought something very basic but its vitality subdues invaluable teachings of life. The program is so written that it only compare your debt with your credits. It doesn't compare your transaction with others. If it would have been so then just imagine collating your credits with credits of Bill Gates. Your score would have been so minuscule that no banks would have ever given you a single penny.

If we take examples of banks, then the credit card they provide is their credits of tomorrow loaned to the consumer. The credit card is literally apt through the point of view of the banks but as far as we the consumers are concerned, it should be called a loan card. It's a subtle business strategy and advertisement secret laid by the banks to name it so. Since we find the word "credit" a positive word psychologically, we run and toil hard to get the card in our wallets but when we get the real meaning things get quite clear. Likewise, debit cards are the real credit cards for us and concurrently a debt from us to the bank. So, each one of us must have a debit card, whereas credit cards are the cards of risks we should take only if we like risky tasks.

Similarly, the life you are living is fully yours, other lives are there to experience it as like you are experiencing others'. The people who always contrast their lives with respect to others can't really find a purposeful and fulfilling life for themselves. What you are doing today should have a greater value than your actions of yesterday and what you are going to do tomorrow should have a greater value than your actions of today.

As a matter of fact, every one of us has got one life, not more than one at least with this body so why to live it meaninglessly and spoil such valuable time we are graced with. Let us utilize it the best way possible.
