Society is funny... we are all put in the same environment, attempting to do the exact same thing, striving for the exact same goal.

Don’t you understand that we’re all different? There is no “failure” as we have made it out to be. We all have different, amazing, beautiful capabilities.

We mustn’t compare ourselves to others.

Imagine a world in which everyone went to a potato hole to make potatoes. The person with the best and most potatoes was “bound to be successful.” But many didn’t want to make potatoes; they enjoyed making strawberries better. But no, potatoes it was and potatoes it will be, was the pitiful false belief of many.
One day, the one with the strawberries actually achieved a happier existence.

We aren’t all made to do the same thing, and we mustn’t conform to this hell of a capitalistic society that makes us believe that achievement in academics and memorization are the ultimate correlation for success.
This is far from the truth. There is no conceivable way for all people to be made the same. To excel in this cycle of sheer madness is great and all, but what you must understand is that for that one rare person who does—this is the thing they excel at. This is their purpose. It doesn’t have to be yours, and if you don’t feel a lure towards it, you mustn’t force yourself to carry through it. To do so would be complete agony.

Chase your passion, stop comparing yourself to this other person excelling in this society with all of its barricades and rules—for they are only excelling in this one ideal that might not be yours!
The potatoes were never all there was. In fact, there was so much more beauty that the people living in their potato hole failed to see. But they would soon find out and stare in awe—at the ones who chased the strawberries.

What is success? Are successful people happy?
