If it helps, you write fairly well. You should hone that talent. I think it will serve you well.

There's no need to be the best. Simply accept where you are now in skills as where you are. A win or loss is no more than that: an expression of that specific time.

What might help, and what I would suggest is to only try to do better than you did the day before. Comparing yourself to others has a dual edge: it'll get you ahead once or twice, but you'll never reach the top if you're always looking to do better than Mr. or Ms. X. Fighting the potential of your cohorts won't help you find and surpass your own potential.

I think, and I may be wrong about this, but I don't think so, that talents aren't simply inherited or developed. An individual is an expression of biological, social and psychological factors that interact to create the present expression. People who have talent weren't simply born with it, nor were they simply trained, or trained themselves into become who they are. It's more complex than that. And that's the real problem of social comparison: no one's life matches that of any other.

By accepting who you are today, and becoming who only you can be tomorrow, you can transcend the expectations, and the judgement of others, and even yourself. That would be what I would ask you to do.

IQ, or intelligence, is merely a number, not a label. Accept it for what it is: a failed attempt at classifying millions of individuals into a simplistic tripartite hierarchy.
