There is no finish line, so don’t compare yourself to others talent, situations, and perceived circumstances; work on what you know YOU must accomplish.
Above all, show gratitude for the talent you have been given, and be gracious towards others.

Accept your mistakes with care, understanding, and sensitivity; they can be your best teachers.
Be creative, come up with your own solutions.
