Since you're young take this life lesson for free. There will [i]always[/i] be people who have what you don't, who achieves what you don't.

What determines who you are, is how you respond to it.

Are you:

A) Going to compare yourself to others for the rest of your life and just be bitter and miserable and stuck in self pity.

B) Own it. Take life adversities as feedback, not failure and not an indication on your worth.
