In my coaching practice I rarely meet a client whose parents didn’t compare themselves with other kids.

Being compared, either favorably or negatively, takes away our inherent self-worth and fuses it with something outside of us. Creating the damaging narrative: “I’m only worthy when...”

But that’s not all.

We internalize comparison. Even when our parents are no longer around to do it for us, we can’t stop comparing ourselves to others. And we beat ourselves black and blue when we don’t seem to measure up.

Underneath our conscious mind, we tell ourselves a story:
“Someone better will take all the love away.”

This leads us to the damaging habit of comparing ourselves with others.

If you're struggling with this too, my latest article will help.

針對斐濟外交事件
致國際社會的訊息
A Message to International Society on Diplomatic Incident in Fiji:

The greatest respect to diplomatic envoy and delegate is a fundamental etiquette between sovereign countries and a civilized state is expected to hold.

However, the uncivilized behaviors of Chinese diplomats in Fiji are completely out of my expectation of rational civilization.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of PRC had lost their mind on their advocation and claim.
"Wolf warrior diplomacy" is out of control and has been distorted into "Wild hound diplomacy."

I hereby pay tribute to our diplomats who tried their best to uphold national dignity but suffered from overbearing treat. I'll also urge our government to offer necessary assistance and compensation to our diplomats as favorably as possible.

Moreover, we should spread those unenlightened behaviors of Chinese diplomats to the international society as negative propaganda.
Let the whole world know how shameful they are!

What is even more ridiculous is that they even want to greet Taiwan Restoration Day with us.
But who want to celebrate with such an uncultivated nation?
Cut it out!

我小的時候很羨慕外交官，他們精通多國語言，身負重任，周旋在各國使節間，參與衣香鬢影的舞會交流，真是優雅極了。

長大之後，我才明白，身為台灣的外交官，他們往往必需舉家遷移到天涯海角，調適從寒帶到熱帶的生活，面對中國各種的打壓和不公平的待遇，還必需為了國家和僑民忍氣吞聲……

這次，大家歡歡喜喜的在斐濟慶祝中華民國的生日，中國外交官絲毫不顧國際法與外交禮儀，闖入宴會砸場傷人，讓我們的外交官受傷送醫！是可忍，孰不可忍！

外交官或許為了地主國的立場勉強吞忍，但我們實在忍不了，志偉除了要求外交部盡快處理抗議中國蠻橫行為，外交部也從善如流盡快提告；我也主張必需盡量撫慰這些忍辱負重的外館人員。

最後，為了讓更多人明白這場野蠻的事件，我也將昨天譴責對岸外交失德的發言翻譯成英文，希望各位可以分享給你們的外國朋友，讓大家看看台灣和台灣的外交官為了爭取合理的待遇，吃了多少苦，受了多少委屈！

#IELTSFIGHTER

Allen Iverson came into the camp without a big reputation, but by the end of the camp was arguably the best guard in the class. Then there was Kevin Garnett, who's jersey could barely fit his lanky frame. His offensive game wasn't as developed as it is now with the world champion Celtics, but he was still punching everything in sight.

These casual summer games are all that Iverson, a 6'1", 165-pound guard who has been favorably compared with Isiah Thomas and Kenny Anderson, can play at the moment. The 18-year-old Iverson was convicted last week on three felony counts of maiming by a mob, charges stemming from a Valentine Day brawl in a bowling alley in his hometown of Hampton, Va. Because Judge Nelson T. Overton has imposed an 8 p.m. curfew on him until he is sentenced, on Aug. 18, Iverson can't participate in the summer tournaments in which he built his reputation last year. Even if he doesn't go to jail—he could get five to 20 years on each charge—he may not be able to play his senior year at Bethel High, and his college career is in obvious jeopardy.

"Sometimes I wonder how everything got so messed up," says Iverson. "All I wanted to do was play basketball, and now I'm in the middle of all this mess."

Allen Iverson turned the boos to cheers and the Philadelphia 76ers turned back the Utah Jazz.

Iverson returned from a one-game suspension to score 24 points, including a clutch 3-pointer with two minutes to go, as the 76ers pulled away for a 99-97 victory over the Jazz, who had a nine-game winning streak snapped.

Iverson missed a shootaround and was suspended by 76ers coach Larry Brown for Thursday's 92-77 loss at Miami. Iverson called the team and said he had a headache, but Brown suspended him anyway for an accumulation of trangressions.

Upset that he was not trusted by management, the NBA's scoring leader received a smattering of boos when he was introduced before tonight's game.

"That's the way life is. You can't satisfy everybody," Iverson said. "There is going to be a billion fans out here that love Allen Iverson and a billion that hate him. Once you start worrying about the ones that hate you, that's when you start to lose focus."

"That was the worst thing that could happen," Brown said. "It had to be hard. I didn't particularly listen but Randy (assistant coach Randy Ayers) mentioned it. ... You hope there is closure to it and it's over. And the way he played, I didn't hear anybody complaining."

Iverson won over the crowd with an excellent floor game that included 4-of-5 shooting from 3-point range and a season-high nine assists.

"He played his best all-around game, to be perfectly honest with you," Brown said. "He made the other people better. He made big shots and I think it's a tribute to him that he could play under those circumstances."

"I was real ready to play this game," said Iverson, who was 8-of-20 from the field. "We've never beat Utah since I've been here."

Iverson helped the 76ers beat the Jazz at their own game -- offensive execution down the stretch. Philadelphia answered nearly every basket by Utah with one of its own and ended a five-game losing streak in the series.

"We did a really great job," said Brown, who tied Jazz coach Jerry Sloan on the all-time list with 718 victories. "They are as good as anybody in the league in execution and they made plays. I did a hell of a job in late-game situations with substituting offense-defense. They scored on our defensive team every trip but we got it done. I didn't think it would be easy."

"They deserved to win. They outplayed us and outworked us," Sloan said. "We didn't do the things down the stretch that give you a chance to win. We played like winning wasn't important to us."

The Jazz had a chance to cut the deficit to three points but Karl Malone missed a pair of free throws. Utah appeared to have Iverson trapped, but he spun through two defenders and drove before firing a behind-the-back pass to Theo Ratliff, who dunked for an 88-81 lead with 3:40 remaining.

A 3-pointer by John Stockton cut the deficit to 90-85 with 2:37 to play but Iverson answered with a 3-pointer and put his hand to his ear, calling for cheers from the First Union Center crowd.

Iverson added another basket for a 97-89 lead with 59 seconds to go and the Sixers withstood eight points from sharpshooting Jeff Hornacek to improve to 15-7 in games decided by three points or less.

"I told him that everybody in that locker room respects him for the way he competes every night so we have to go from here and all make a commitment to get this thing over with," Brown said. "Every time I've ever been involved with him in a situation like this, he's responded really favorably. You're going to have slippage that happens. He's 24 years old, you have to remember that. I don't know many 24-year-olds that are in a position he is with so much scrutiny."

Philadelphia's Toni Kukoc scored 14 points and led a bench that outscored Utah's reserves, 33-17. Tyrone Hill and Theo Ratliff scored 12 points apiece for the Sixers, who shot 50 percent (41-of-82) and made 11-of-12 free throws.

Malone had 31 points and 13 rebounds and Hornacek scored 16 points for the Jazz, who had not lost since February 27 at Portland and fell to 3-1 on their five-game road trip. Utah shot 45 percent (34-of-76) and held a 43-36 rebounding edge.

"We lose by two points and I miss six free throws (out of 15)," Malone said. "That's what I'll think about. They did a lot of things down the stretch to win this ballgame. They got the offensive rebounds and made big shots."
