Just be yourself, there is no one better.

No two person of same parents are similar. They may different in many aspect. May it be on mental ability or physical ability or being social or wealth. Their destinies are different. While one of them may lead a luxurious life the other one may be very poor and may even become a beggar. There will always be some kind of difference. However, for parents they remain their love of life. Me too differ from my sister. There is a beautiful lines in Danskrit which highlights the condition :

पिता रत्नाकरो यस्य लक्ष्मीर्यस्य सहोदरी .
शंखो रोदति भिक्षार्थी नादत्तमुपतिष्ठति.

Pita Ratnaakaro yasya Lakshmeeryasya sahodari.
Shamkho rodati bhikshaarthi naadattamupatishth.

Pita = father.
Ratnakaro = Ocean.
Yasya = whose.
Lakshmi = Goddes of wealth and riches.
Sahodari = a sister, born of the same womb.
Shankh = conch shell. This is used in religious rites by blowing, which produces loud houling sound.
Rodati = weeps.(here the reference to the howling sound produced by blowing the conch shell.)
Bhikshaarthi = a beggar.
Bhikshaarthi = bhikshaa + arthi. Bhikshaa = begging.
Arthi = desirous of.
Naadattamupatishthati = Naadatti + uptishthati.
Naadatti = makes a howling sound.
Upatishthati = attends to, goes to.

Referring, to the mythological samudra manthan incident, the verses indicates:

"A conch shell, whose father is the Ocean and Lakshmi (the Goddess of wealth ) is its sister, has still to live as a begger by weeping and howling (for the purpose of begging).

In the epic of 'Samudra Manthan" of Hindu mythology, according to which Gods and Demons joined together to churn the Ocean and used Sumeru Mountain as a churning tool and Vaasuki Naag (a serpant) as a rope attached to the churn. During the process of the churning many products were brought out of the ocean including Lakshmi, whom Lord Vishnu took as his consort, Halahal Visha (most powerful poison), which Lord Shiva drank to protect. Gods and Demons, were actually looking for Amrita, the necter which makes its drinker immortal. Conch shell is also a product that cane out during the Ocean churning and used in religious rites and at times beggars and mendicants also use it while begging.
