depende yan siguro sa outlook mo in life. when i see people better than me, which is very often, i get inspired to work harder. i don't get discouraged.
if you think you suck, negative thinking yun eh. it will neither help you as a guitarist nor will it help you as a person.
dapat positive ang pag-iisip natin. music isn't a sport anyway. if we see someone better than us, let's just enjoy it and learn from the experience.
i'm not saying we should deny our shortcomings. being realistic is also a good thing. it'll help us determine where we are and where we need or want to be as guitarists.
i prefer to look at the glass as half-full.
so if you see someone twice as good as you, you don't half-suck, you're half good! if you think this way, baka mag-stabilize pa blood pressure mo!
a little positive thinking never hurt anyone.
