答案
On Self-improvement Ernest Hemingway once said, "There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. " His remark is thought-provoking because more often than not, some people use others’ life as a yardstick against which to measure their own success. This mode of life will certainly do more harm than good. To begin with, if one keeps comparing his life with others’, he may end up with the pursuit of superiority over his peers rather than living his life to the fullest. Furthermore, if one devotes himself to this fanatical pursuit, he will be unable to spare a moment to reflect on his experiences. Consequently, his personal failings are overlooked, not to mention their corrections. In the end, he may be content with himself for having surpassed many of his peers, but he remains to be the person he was yesterday with those same failures, same weaknesses, and more importantly, same ignorance. Hence, one’s self-improvement should focus on himself, with his own life as the most important yardstick or else there would be no improvement at all.
