....in a specific domain, there is always someone better than you? If so, what are some good rationalizations to keep one's self-esteem at a desirable level?

Everyone is good at something. But there will always be someone better. I like that because it motivates me to improve and get stronger in my fields. If everyone was equal, how boring would that be? And the more people you know, they can share their wisdom and knowledge with you as well. The good thing is that no one knows everything.

Yeah this is true, there will be always someone better than you, but that shouldn't bother you, the best way to keep your self esteem high is not to think about those people who are better than you rather think about how to do a job in more best way in that way you will have automatic high self esteem, why? because thats keep you thinking, making, modifying yourself and this practice will surely satisfied you.

No--everyone is unique and it is up to each person to use their talents and to keep learning and improving. Some people have better opportunities and work harder than others and that may make them look better, but I think that people's actions and kindness are what separates good and bad. It is not really about anyone being better that anybody else because we can all improve and we are competing with our self and not each other.

there some one better than the person who is better than you. in a way there is no number one. i think the you should just try the best at what you like doing and try maintaining a high status at what you do. you might not be better than someone but your respect level could be just as high as someone better than you. and respect always raise self esteem.

yes, there will always be someone better. However, if you know that, and have no problem accepting that, your self-esteem is already at a desirable level.

one should feel confident about their abilities and their power of understanding.
also one should think better to attain the knowledge of their specific domain.
buzzword is "DO NOT LET THE EGO GO INTO UR MIND"
