1. 0:00In a quiet village, there lived two
2. 0:02childhood friends, [music] Arav and
3. 0:05Rohan.
4. 0:06They grew up playing together, studying
5. 0:09together,
6. 0:09>> [music]
7. 0:09>> and even dreaming together.
8. 0:12But as they grew older, their lives
9. 0:14[music] began to look very different.
10. 0:17Rohan became a brilliant student,
11. 0:19[music] winning awards in school,
12. 0:21while Arav was an average learner who
13. 0:24preferred drawing and crafting things
14. 0:26with his hands.
15. 0:28Slowly, Arav began to compare himself
16. 0:31with Rohan.
17. 0:32Every time Rohan topped an exam, Arav
18. 0:36felt smaller. [music]
19. 0:37Every time Rohan was praised, Arav heard
20. 0:41an unspoken sentence in his mind,
21. 0:44"You are not enough."
22. 0:46Years passed, and after graduation,
23. 0:49Rohan moved to the city for a
24. 0:51high-paying corporate job.
25. 0:54Arav stayed in the village, running a
26. 0:56small shop where he repaired [music]
27. 0:58furniture and made beautiful wooden art
28. 1:01pieces.
29. 1:02But deep inside, Arav always thought,
30. 1:06"If only I were like Rohan, my life
31. 1:09would be better."
32. 1:10One summer, Rohan returned to the
33. 1:13village for a short vacation.
34. 1:15Seeing his friend, Arav tried to hide
35. 1:18his insecurity, but it was clear in his
36. 1:20eyes.
37. 1:22That evening, sitting by the riverbank,
38. 1:24Arav finally spoke.
39. 1:27"Rohan, I feel like I have wasted my
40. 1:30life.
41. 1:31Look at [music] you.
42. 1:32You are successful, rich, respected,
43. 1:36and here I am just repairing chairs
44. 1:38[music] and tables.
45. 1:40I feel like I am nothing compared to
46. 1:42you."
47. 1:43Rohan looked at Arav for a long time
48. 1:45before speaking.
49. 1:47"Our lives are not a race on the same
50. 1:49track.
51. 1:51They are completely different journeys.
52. 1:54If you keep looking at my lane, you will
53. 1:56trip in your own.
54. 1:58Do you know the funny thing?
55. 2:00In the city, [music] with all my money,
56. 2:02sometimes I wish I had your peaceful
57. 2:05life here.
58. 2:06Those words hit Arav's heart like
59. 2:09lightning.
60. 2:10He realized he had been measuring his
61. 2:12worth [music] with someone else's ruler.
62. 2:15From that day on, Arav stopped comparing
63. 2:18himself to anyone.
64. 2:20He poured his heart into his craft and
65. 2:22learned [music] new designs.
66. 2:25People from cities began ordering his
67. 2:27furniture, and his small shop became a
68. 2:29well-known brand.
69. 2:32Years later, Arav stood in front of a
70. 2:34group of young students giving a talk.
71. 2:37He said,
72. 2:39"Never compare your life to someone
73. 2:40else's.
74. 2:42A mango tree will never grow roses,
75. 2:45but that does not mean the mango is less
76. 2:47valuable.
77. 2:49The sun and the moon shine at different
78. 2:51times, [music]
79. 2:53yet both are needed.
80. 2:55Focus on becoming the best version of
81. 2:57yourself, [music] not a copy of someone
82. 2:59else.
83. 3:01Remember this,
84. 3:02comparison is [music] the thief of joy.
85. 3:06The only person you should try to be
86. 3:08better than is the person you [music]
87. 3:10were yesterday."
