Green Grass

A famous saying talks about your neighbor's grass being greener than yours. It is certainly true if you like to look around to see what's going on with your neighbors, or tend to compare yourself with others. Instead of focusing on yourself and on your business, you feel the need to "know" stuff about other people. (This can explain the success of tabloids and reality shows!). On the other hand, people who creatively concentrate on what they are doing, who keep busy trying to achieve excellency in their endeavors, usually don't look at gardens except their own, don't compare "grasses" and, consequently, don't feel they are less than anybody else.
