Blue Cat made a mistake. He wanted to see how he measures up as a cat, and so he used a ruler to make the measurement. Why was that a mistake? Because, as you can see, he’s not very impressive by that measure.

Blue Cat needs to measure himself against his own potential – he may be a small cat, but he’s a really impressive crocheted friend. He’s really smart…

and he has lots of good friends…

and he meets lots of interesting people…

Measured against his potential, Blue Cat is very big. Don’t make the same mistake he did – measure yourself against where you were and what you can do, not against an arbitrary standard.
