On Self-improvement As the saying goes, there is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. In my opinion, the saying is rather reasonable. In our daily life, competition is normal. We may be feeling superior to our competitor when we defeat them. However, can you sure that you have made great progress compare with your former self? You will never be successful if you don't defeat yourself. Everyone has powerful enemy who is himself. For example, someone can't get up early even if he may be late for the class. Besides, someone is lazy for everything. However, it is obvious to us that lazy people will achieve nothing. Therefore, we should make every efforts on self-improvement. As far as I'm concerned, we should accept more challenges if we want to promote our ability. What's more, defeating ourselves is indispensible.
