His marks is lower than mine!!!

After the Hari Raya breaks, Boyboy A and girlgirl B get their examination result.
GirlgirlA: What yours result, BoyboyA?
BoyboyA: Nah, you can see it yourselves.
GirlgirlA: Oh my god! You only get 39!
BoyboyA: It is Ok lah.
GirlgirlA: Wha do you mean OK, you fail in your examination.
BoyboyA: Nevermind, Boyboy B only got 36, i'm ok compare to him.(Girlgirl A fainted in the spot.)

I think most of the people are having this kind of thought(Nevermind, somebody is worse than me). For certain incident, this kind of words can actually make us feel better. And human tend to stay in some place where they can feel better.

However as a leaders, we should alway think the other ways around. They should alway think like; Oh, someone is better than me, i should do better than that particular person. How would the people of the country think when their leader say: Yes i'm bad, but A is worse than me.
