“Two truths that can be at odds: 1) There are no bonus points in life for doing it the hard way. 2) There is a lot to be gained in life by acting fast and giving your best effort.

“Focus on whether you are fulfilling your own potential than comparing yourself to someone else. The fact that you have a natural limit to any specific ability has nothing too do with whether you are reaching the ceiling of your capabilities.
