Don't compare yourself with anyone else. The world is full of runners, so you'll probably see one every time you circle the block or your favorite park.

Make it work for you, and don't worry about anyone else.

Maradona was the world's greatest-ever player while I'm just an apprentice.
Sergio Aguero
