[phektus]

1. You are inferior, that's a non-changing fact, so get over it. Everybody is inferior relative to somebody else, just as everybody is superior relative to somebody else; it's just how you compare people.

2. You will get better on what you do if you stick to it, but somebody else will be better than you no matter what; that is true for everybody else.

3. You will die someday. Everybody does.

4. You will die soon, as with everybody else.

5. You will surely die - everybody will. So stop obsessing on what you lack and make the most of the time left.

Puts things into perspective nicely.

And to kind of expand upon what phektus said regarding someone else always being better:

Surround yourself with these people! There's an old saying, "if you're the smartest person in the room then you're standing in the wrong room."

I crave knowledge and challenges. If I feel like what I do is too easy then I need something else. I try to find folks who are doing something above and beyond that and begin talking to them.

Never stop learning. I'm probably going off topic again. It's been a long day.
