Never buy things to show your wealth to others. Doing so will make you constantly take away the joy of life from yourself because you’re always living for others’ perceptions. You need to have the strength and willpower to compete with yourself and always aim to make more progress than the day before. Spend a long time in silence, focusing solely on building yourself. If you get caught up in showing off to others, you might find yourself better than them in some areas, which could make you feel content. But you need to be the best version of yourself.
