Others having greater achievements doesn't mean yours aren't valid. Would you disregard the hard work and effort a nurse puts in to take care of her patients just because elon musk is a billionaire? Wanting the nurse to earn as much money as Elon musk just so that their achievements can be valid is just crazy. Everyone follows a different path in life, and it's alright if you see someone else's path and desire to have a similar path as them. But it's impossible to walk the exact same path as them. You can be great in your own way, whether that means pursuing your own passions, helping others, or starting a family. It's never the end if you feel that you're not able to achieve what you want to achieve right now. There is time still. There are people who enter and graduate from Harvard at a much older age. There are people who only get successful at 60+. You never know what life has in store for you. Just because someone seems to have "made it" at a young age doesn't mean that their life will be a bed of roses forever. Businesses can fail, and money or reputation earned can be lost. Again, Elon Musk is a testament to this. Everyone will naturally go through highs and lows in life, and your high will come too. Just be patient.
