I was recently asked how people can build confidence, a frequent question.

Confidence is knowledge, and especially the knowing that you’re better than you were yesterday. And, whether this is positive or not, the knowledge that you’re proactively working towards being better tomorrow.

Comparison destroys this kind of confidence more than anything else. The best metrics are your own; track your improvements, not someone else’s.
