I'd rather feel like an average man among the intellectually gifted, than the intellectual among the average. I feel sad that I feel like the former, because I don't believe I am very smart.
Unless you are at the very end of the curve there are always people smarter or better looking. Or conversely there are always people less smart or good looking.
No one is exactly like you and you should value that!
Also it makes a big difference what kind of person you are, be exceptional to others... Thats what makes you truly great.
This made my day
