I really like your advice. I'm still guilty of some of the things you mentioned (especially point 3) but I hope the day when the learning journey will come a bit easier is not that far. Thx for the nice words.

You're welcome!

I know it's easy to say, but guilt won't bring you anything good. Don't compare yourself to others, it's flawed. Somebody will always be better than you, or worse. Plus, it's very difficult to have a realistic judgment on your knowledge/skills, on the others skills, and even more difficult to compare both.

Compare yourself to your past self. See if you improved. It will take time, so be patient. Meanwhile, enjoy the journey! Whatever happens, you'll always learn something new.
