I'm never late, because I arrive early.

Internalize this and thrive

The important thing is never to let oneself be guided by the opinion of one's contemporaries; to continue steadfastly on one's way without letting oneself be either defeated by failure or diverted by applause.
 

Try finding what you really want in life besides just trying to outdo your peers bro.

Competition can generally be a good thing. But if you are in a race to marry by 25 and have 2 kids by 30 just to 'win' a race no one really cares about, then you are setting yourself for potential failure by trying to force things that dont necessarily fit (marriage an obvious example, but can apply to other stages of life, owning a home, work titles, etc.)

Reflect on what you want and be intentional about getting it. Peers can be a decent barometer, but as Warren Buffet says if you want to win you need to have a good internal scoreboard
