One of Wayne's favorite sayings is, “All misery comes from comparison.” What he means by this in terms of singing is we should never compare ourselves to another singer. There will always be someone better than us and someone who is worse. The only person we can truly compare ourselves to is ourselves! If we chart our progress based on where we come from and where we hope to go, then we are only competing, if you will, against ourselves.
True misery does come from comparison. Think about that in all areas of your life, next time you are tempted to compare yourself to another. It's a good teaching tool for kids, too!
