From the article 'Is There A Need To Change That Thing You Dislike?' by Fahmeena Moore:

Most would agree some situations should never be tolerated. Examples are abuse, sexual harassment and discrimination. But what about that job that drives you crazy or that annoying neighbor? Many people would think of “changing” that job by getting a new one or “changing” that neighbor by moving. Some people may try to “change” that job by dealing with the problem – by trying to work out their differences with an individual, for example. The quote above mentions an alternative: change the way you think about the job or that neighbor.

From the song 'Better Than You' by Conor Maynard feat. Rita Ora:

I can do it better than, better than you.
Better than, better than you.
