Brink of suicide....

You don't need to be the best at anything at all. I think of it this say: everyone is like the main character in a video game. You have for example 8 points to use on different talents, like stealth, strength or speed etc. Some have more points, others have fewer. But in the end, many people who are very good at something, is bad at something else. And I think it's better to be good at everything instead of for example being the best at playing chess but the worst at swimming.

And there is ALWAYS someone better than yourself, so don't think about that too much. There is always someone YOU are better than too, but in the end that doesn't matter.

What matters is what you make of it. If you give up, you will never know what you can do, and if you fail, you did at least try. Many people are afraid of trying, and if you don't try, there is 0% chance that you'll "win". Imagine what would have happen if Great Brittain in WW2 would have given up. But because they tried, they won.

Maybe everyone has their talent, but some haven't discovered it yet. Maybe you're the best at playing volleyball, or diving, or deer hunting.

So do yourself a favor, and don't give up! Your future self will thank you for it!
