Never ever compare yourself to others, especially based on age. Do your thing. For you.

Wanting to achieve things in life is great but how young you do them really doesn't matter nearly as much as you think it does.

Wanting to achieve things in life is great but the way you treat people day-to-day trumps any achievement.
