Don't throw shit on someone else so that they will stink like the rest of us.
It gives me a renewed sense of humanity to see people better than me. I want people to be better than me. I am not perfect (by a long shot) and therefore having people around me that are high-achievers is refreshing.
Hang out with people better than you. It raises your game. If you are hanging with a bunch of deadbeats so that your ego will be satiated, you will quickly find yourself a deadbeat. Don't walk down that road.
Fuck, if I am the best at anything, and I mean anything, then this world is in a whole bunch of trouble. I am average, which means that I am better than half of the people I meet, and I have the privledge of meeting my betters the other half.
Dare to be Average.

I didn't mean to imply that it is better to "tear them down" to bring them to size, but moreso, to remind people that they are "people." I don't wish to toss shit onto anyone, but human frailty is what it is. The more people I've met in the world well, tend to be people with all the foilbles that people have.
They put on their pants no different than me. They cop a squat to remove bodily waste just like me.
