You may have heard the phrase 鈥淜eeping up with the Joneses鈥�. The idea is that the vast majority of us constantly compare ourselves to our peers. The phrase is most commonly associated with the invisible competition among neighbors, who feel the need to have a bigger house & a nicer car to prove themselves as a success. It鈥檚 human nature to compare yourself to others and feel inferior if you aren鈥檛 the wealthiest, best-looking, smartest, funniest person. But while it鈥檚 human nature, it doesn鈥檛 mean it鈥檚 the right way of thinking. This concept can be applied to school and your career, especially a few years after graduating college (speaking from experience).
