> You're not the best at everything, and you don't have to be.
As a 50 years old person that some time ago was one of these brightest in class I can say that for most of us, people, it is:
You're not the best at anything, and you don't have to be.
As another very insightful HN commenter said [1]:
"In a way, meeting those people was liberating. I will never be a world champion at anything, so I might as well play for the love of the sport."
It stuck with me and has become more meaningful as I get older and a bit slower.
