The greatest moment of self-discovery happens when you come to terms on how unique you are as a person. That uniqueness makes you amazing because no one is like you. And if you spend more time examining how much progress you have made, over fixation on others, you will win your future through unbounded positive energy that will propel you to achieve more.
I never compare myself with anyone even though I get inspiration from others. But daily, I try to beat Ndubuisi Ekekwe of yesterday. That construct brings calm to me, and unleashes optimism in my spirit to outperform my past. I believe that I attended the best primary school, best secondary school, best university, lived in the best village, worked in the best companies, and I do have the best helpful family. It shapes me to appreciate my privileges, deepening my mindset that I have everything today to become whatever, irrespective of whatever.
Simply, no excuses because in any state, you are better than many; the real deal is what you can build on any position you are in. Yes, no matter your circumstances, do not be hard on yourself with mindless comparison because doing so freezes your internal energy. But do all necessary to keep improving, no matter how little. And if you do, a positive attitude will unlock opportunities because humans who will help you, directly and indirectly, are attracted to positive people.

Get me right, if you can read this, you have many privileges because millions of people your age around the world cannot read. Leave that vision-killing comparison, and free your mind to pursue your future. That your classmate is a startup CEO does not mean you should resign your bank job where you are on a great path to GM. Be inspired by people but be true to YOURSELF. With that, you will enjoy life even as you work to build things that sustain life.
For greatness, you need to win over yourself before you can impact your world! And you cannot win yourself if you do not even take time to know and appreciate yourself. If you know yourself, you will discover your greatness and the unbounded future. Good luck.
