THE LOTUS LANE

When someone else gets what you wanted, the envy you feel is not a character flaw — it is information. The real question it is asking is: are you still building the thing only you can build, or have you been watching someone else's scoreboard instead of playing your own game?

“A truly great person does not seek fame. Fame comes to such a person naturally, as a matter of course. The same applies to ability and knowledge.”

- Daisaku Ikeda, The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 1
