I will never achieve the greatness of many in the top of their fields, and so yes, I will never be their equal in the ways we all want to reward the best among us, and therefore yes we do accept a world where not everyone will do spectacularly well. Oh, but I also have no envy of anyone else and doing just as well as I can is always enough for me.

Nice summary of how most of us I think feel about our life and achievements compared to those Few who made Spectacular achievements.

your summary statement: “I will never achieve the greatness of many in the top of their fields, and so yes, I will never be their equal in the ways we all want to reward the best among us, and therefore yes we do accept a world where not everyone will do spectacularly well. Oh, but I also have no envy of anyone else and doing just as well as I can is always enough for me.”
