Comparison is the thief of joy. Be better than who you were yesterday. Exceptional talent is also rare, don’t feel bad if you’re not exceptional. Billions will lead happy, fulfilling lives having not been.
That’s the trouble - I don’t think I’ve ever improved at anything after working at it. SATs, grades, technical abilities all pathetic after years of work, clearly unfocused and lacking because of inherent genetic defects or whatever.
