The way you perceive life matters a lot. You can not achieve success if you are living because of what others will say. Believe in yourself and follow the dictates of your own conscience. Success and achievement don't come often the way people expect. Sometimes it doesn't come the regular way but it will surely come if you apply the right attitude. Competing with others is a very wrong step. Life is not a game.
Instead compete with yourself, challenge yourself, learn from others and conquer yourself and your inadequacies. Your whole duty is to do your best. You are not required to run faster than your strength.
My life began to change for the better when I started applying this principles. I use to be in competition with others. And when I am unable ble to meet up I get so miserable.

"You are not competing with anyone else. You are only competing with yourself to do the best with whatever you have received." —L. Tom Perry
