Jeremy Taylor #2

The easiest rule for me is number eighteen; "Do not expose others' weaknesses in order to make them feel less able than you." This has been done to me countless times so I know how it feels to be underestimated and told that you can't do something because of your faults, background, etc. None of us are perfect and all of us are broken. We shouldn't cause more damage to others to make us feel better.

The hardest rule for me is number fourteen; "Be content when you see or hear that others are doing well in their jobs and with their income, even when you are not." This is extremely difficult for me because I get to where I feel as though I deserve a break after working hard for so long. Not just when it comes to money, but when it comes to opportunities or grades and other things. I work hard for my grades and opportunities and it's hard to accept that some people are just better than you are at some things, no matter how hard you work. We were all gifted in a unique way. It could also be because I can get competitive, but mainly because I feel as though I deserve certain things after putting in a certain amount of time working for it.
