with others. You should not get into a competition with others, you
have to compete with yourself and this is the best competition you

exercise daily, pray to God, sleep for eight hours, meditate, consume
the right food, practice Yoga and mantra chanting. All these activities

pay rich dividends, you have to try and do as many of these as
possible.

"One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key
to self-confidence is preparation." - Arthur Ashe.
