The unique one

Someone said i want to be as intelligent as Einstein ,

Other said i want to be as kind as Mother Teresa ,

Yet another said i want to be as brave as Malala Yousoufzai ,

Then , I wondered why people want to become like others .

Why to be like someone?

When you are the unique one.

Everyone born is unique on this earth,

with his own precious value and worth.

With his own unique abilities ,

And his own disabilities .

Why to be like someone ?

When you are the unique one.

As  fingerprints of two individual can never match ,

dreams and possibilities too  can never match .

Why to compare and compete yourself with other ,

when you yourself are your most strong competitor.

Why to be like someone?

when you are the unique one.

The story of tortoise and rabbit still keeps on inspiring me ,

the tortoise kept on running with his own speed you see.

But the rabbit compared himself with tortoise and thinking himself faster slept ,

but the tortoise inspite of knowing that he was slow than rabbit won because oblivious of anything else he gave his best.

Why to be like someone ?

when you are the unique one.

The story of tortoise and rabbit's race ,

isn't different from  our life's case.

A person who keeps on improving himself everyday , every moment better than previous,

Wins this race of life than the others who inspite of having qualities , competes with others and become over ambitious.

Why  to be like someone?

when you are the unique one.

Life is not the graph where after a point , motion stops ,

rather it is the synonym of continuous motion and progress.

Everyday comes with new energy and challenges too.

And you in desire to become more better than previous day , 

surpass the one who were in front of you as they competed with others than themselves.

Why to be like someone?

When you are the unique one.

I  don't want to be intelligent , kind and brave like others ,

Because I am Riddhi , one of the kind.

I want to be me , what others say never bothers

me, so please keep in mind.

Why to be like someone?

when you are the unique one.

This reminds me an inspiring ad of Classmate stationery!
Of course I believe there's something unique in us...And I feel bad when at present successful people have to face comparison mostly! No matter with which legend you're being compared but you're unique along with your ability!
It's strong write riddhi!
Keep it up😊

Riddhi,
Your words ring true. We are born with our own strengths and personalities. While there is nothing wrong with admiring another's accomplishments, we do need to challenge ourselves. Your writing should inspire others to look deep inside themselves and commit to using their own gifts. Thank you,Riddhi, for reminding us to value who we are. Helping others will come naturally when we are confident in knowing who we are.
Blessings,

We are all our own uniquely created forms that have been scattered among other unique beings. This is how we grow and become who we are. This was very well written and inspiring. Please continue to write and become a better you. Thank you for sharing a piece of your mind.

YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL AND UNIQUE. 'I' REPRESENTS A PERSON, PLACE OR THING. IT IS ALWAYS CAPITALIZED. JUST RUN IT THROUGH THE MICROSOFT WORD ONLINE PROGRAM. ANYWAY, I LOVE IT!

Thanks for your review...

Actually we are not that original, we inherited the DNA that has been around for thousands of years! What makes us unique is the combination of DNA we inherited! I don't see anything wrong with some one wanting to be like Mother Theresa or Malala if we have more of them, I think world will be a better place! I see you have received the reviews of one of the best onWC, Nigel Newman. And he is one of my favorites! All the best.

A wonderful poem dear friend. You are right. Be who you want to be. You mention many great people. I believe. Never show fear and go forward. Oldest and wisest wisdom. We are what we leave behind. Powerful and worthwhile words shared dear Poet.
