Follow The New Lenox Patriot: @The<strong>NL</strong>Patriot from the editor Be happy with what you can do; don’t worry about what you can’t Sean Hastings sean@newlenoxpatriot.com By now, I’m sure you’ve heard about the Lincoln- Way West triplets who dominated the ACT. One day they were three high school students who did well on the ACT and the next they’re doing interviews, getting calls from Ellen and Facebook sensations. The only problem that came out of that was people calling them cheaters, using their twin telepathy and don’t deserve the praise. Of course they do. Two 35s and a perfect 36 deserve recognition. But that’s how the world works. Some people, when they can’t do something, like to bring down the people who can. What’s the use in doing that? The problem is comparing yourself to others. I used to do it. Growing up and still now, my brother has always naturally been smarter than me. Not that I was a bad student. My brother was always just a step above me gradewise. And as we went through high school together, I just wished things clicked for me as easily as they did for him. But thinking like that gets you nowhere. I went to college with minimal scholarships, and even when I was in school and having my own success writing for my school paper, I always thought what if I was as smart as my brother, maybe I would be saving money. It took me time to finally figure it out, and it was one of the best things Sound Off Policy Editorials and columns are the opinions of the author.

They used to compete with each other, but now they realize they are their own individuals and take pride in their strengths and work on their weaknesses. Our goals should not be to constantly compete with others and compare, because that is not healthy. Take pride in your strengths and respect other people’s, as well, rather than trying to measure yours to others. Compete with yourself and get better. My brother is in engineering with all kinds of math and physics I couldn’t even begin to explain, and so I always looked at him as being supreme and “smart.” But when he told me how he respected what I did with writing, photography and other journalistic work, I finally realized we all need to be proud to be good at what we are. There’s always going to be someone who is way better at certain things than you. Whether that is with other professions or even inside your own, there’s always room to grow. To tie this back to the triplets and their high ACT scores, why can’t we let others enjoy their successes and we enjoy our own, as well. The negative comments are not going to change their ACT scores or the fact that they are happy for scoring so well. I know I can’t put up ACT numbers like that, and I’m totally fine with it. I’m happy being a writer and editor. Try to be the best at what you do; don’t worry about what others can or can’t do.
