双语美文之停止比较，做最好的自己

Look around for someone whom you want to emulate

找寻一个你想要效仿的人

Instead of comparing, you should find someone you want to emulate. This is perhaps the most difficult step here because it's not easy to find the right role model. Your role model should:

你应该找寻一个你所希望效仿的人，而不是与他人比较。由于找寻一个合适的榜样并不简单，所以这点也许是最不容易做到的。你要找到的榜样应该具备如下条件：

have significant achievements that you want to emulate (in this case, you do need to look at his statistics)

你的榜样拥有你希望达到的重大成就(这点上，你确实需要去看一下他的数据)

not so far ahead that you can't realistically hope to run after him

你的榜样与你的距离不至于远到你无法追随他的境界

have performed well consistently for long time

你的榜样长期一直表现杰出

have other characteristics that are similar to you or your situation

你的榜样身上还拥有一些特征，而这些特征与你或者你现在的情况比较相似

The last point is important. There are perhaps some persons who have the achievements you want, but--looking at their characteristics--they are very different from you. In that case, it will be too difficult and unnatural to emulate them. The more similar their characteristics with yours, the more natural it will be to emulate them.
