• 0:35
  Speaker 4: They spend a fortune. The first day they go fishing,

  Speaker 4: but they don't catch anything. The same thing happens on

• 0:50
  Speaker 4: like this until finally, on the last day of their holiday,
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: one of the men catches a single fish. As they
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: were driving home, they got really depressed. One guy turns
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: to the other and says, do you realize that that
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: one lousy fish that we caught cost us fifteen hundred dollars.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: The other guy looks at him and says, Wow, it's
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: a good thing we didn't catch anymore. One sure path
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: to unhappiness and dissatisfaction is to compare yourself to other people,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: no matter what the comparison is there will always be
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: someone who has more money, more friends, more power, a
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: bigger house, a better job, a faster car. Comparing ourselves
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: to other people will always lead to dissatisfaction. We will

  Speaker 4: Do you know the answer to this week's trivia question?
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: The question was which country is the largest producer of
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: coffee in the world. The answer Brazil. Brazil has been
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: the world's largest producer of coffee for over one hundred
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: and fifty years. It produces about one third of the
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: world's coffee supply with a variety of beans including Arabica
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: and robusta. The country's favorable climate and vast land area
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: makes it an ideal location for coffee cultivation. Coffee is
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: a significant part of Brazil's economy and culture. Now you know?
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Comparing ourselves to others often leads to unhappiness because it
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: fuels feelings of inadequacy and self doubt. When we focus
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: on what others have or achieve, we overlook our own
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: strengths and progress, fostering a sense of scarcity or failure.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: This constant comparison can create unrealistic standards, as we may
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: only see the highlights of others' lives, ignoring their struggles
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: or imperfections. Ultimately, it detracts from our ability to appreciate
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: our own unique journey, leaving us dissatisfied and disconnected from
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: the joy that comes from self acceptance. Ernest Hemingway once said,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: there is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: True nobility is being superior to your former self.
