The forecast calling for an El NiƱo makes sense in the context of the natural cycle of these events. But we're in a different world now, with oceans unusually warm nearly everywhere. The previous El NiƱo should be a wake-up call that the atmosphere's response is no longer behaving the same way.

Quote of the Day by Lao Tzu: 'When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everyone will respect you'. How to use this mantra in daily and digital life? - The Economic Times
Lao Tzu, one of the greatest Chinese philosophers, says that when people are satisified within themselves, and they don't compare and compete with others, people around them start respecting them. We should stop trying to copy others and try to be authentic. People should do their SWOT analysis and apply this rule on social media too. Rather than engaging in metrics, people should try to create real and motivating content, Lao Tzu says.
Lao Tzu, a renowned philosopher in Chinese culture, says that when you are content being yourself, you stop comparing your life, achievements, or abilities to others, which reduces stress, anxiety and envy. When you try not to outshine or compete with others, then you show authenticity and confidence and these qualities attract respect. Stop imitating others and try to be your authentic self which you can embrace as your quality. Lao Tzu, the founding father of Taoism, gives the message that inner peace creates outer harmony. The quote focusses on the fact that true respect does not come from trying to outshine others or constantly measuring yourself against them. In modern life, people often fall into the trap of comparisonājudging others' success, appearance, wealth, or achievements. The constant comparison creates a never-ending loop and this mindset creates stress, jealousy, insecurity, and endless competition. Lao Tzu advises the opposite: be content with who you are.How can you apply this quote in this digital era?Social media thrives on comparison and competition, and thatās why this quote is so powerful. Social media algorithms reward likes, shares, and trends. You can resort to practical ways to actually apply this quote in your own social media life, not just post it. Some of the methods are:Stop Comparing MetricsDonāt stress over likes, comments, or follower count.Focus on content that reflects you, not whatās trending or popular.Example: Post your art, travel, or thoughts because you love it, not because others are doing it.Avoid Competing With OthersDonāt try to āoutdoā friends, influencers, or peers.Share your journey authentically.Example: Instead of posting someone elseās luxury lifestyle as a standard, post your personal winsāeven small ones.Show Your True SelfBe unfiltered, real, and honest in captions, stories, and reels.Example: Share behind-the-scenes moments, your struggles, or your normal dayāitās relatable and earns respect.Curate, Donāt ImitatePost things that reflect your interests.Example: If you love books, post book reviews even if your friends post travel. Youāre expressing yourself, not following a trend.ALSO READ: Quote of the Day by Aristotle: 'A friend to all is a friend to none'. How to identify real companions in life?Engage AuthenticallyRespond to comments and DMs sincerely instead of trying to impress.Example: Thank followers for encouragement instead of competing for attention.Take Breaks from Comparison TriggersMute accounts or turn off analytics that make you feel competitive.Example: Focus on your own feed or personal growth instead of endless scrolling.Use it as a Content ThemeYour posts can reflect self-contentment and authenticity, reinforcing the quote through action, not just words.Example: āNo filters, no competitionājust me todayAn instance of the quoteImagine a normal gym-goer, Rohit, who exercises regularly and is consistent with his workouts. Every time he scrolls through social media, he sees a popular fitness influencer showing extreme transformations and intense routines. Rohit starts comparing himself to the influencer, feeling that his own progress is ānot enough,ā even though heās disciplined and making steady improvements.Now considerthe fitness influencer, who focuses on their own fitness journey, posts content for inspiration, and doesnāt compare themselves to anyone else. People respect the influencer for their authenticity, dedication, and confidence.This demonstrates the quote by Lao Tuz perfectly: when you stay content being yourself and avoid constant comparison, you gain respect. On the other hand, unnecessary comparisons only create stress and dissatisfaction.ALSO READ: Quote of the Day by Pythagoras: 'The oldest, shortest words 'yes' and 'no' are those which require the most thought'. How to apply it in love life?Meaning of the quote by Lao TuzLao Tzu says by being āsimply yourselfā you accept your strengths, weaknesses, personality, and path and you try to pretend to be someone else. People are naturally attracted to those who are original and who love to be comfortable in their own skin. The philosopher advises us not to chase validation and instant gratification through rivalry or on digital platforms. When you stop competing, you also stop projecting ego, Lao Tzu says. You become calmer, more genuine, and more confident because your sense of worth comes from within, not from external benchmarks. The quote also implies freedom. Without comparison, you free yourself from societal pressure. You focus on personal growth instead of defeating others. You appreciate othersā success without feeling threatened. This creates healthier relationships and a peaceful mind.
