Measure up

Ever had that annoying feeling that you don't measure up? That everybody suddenly turns to some sort of superhuman species, leaving you in the average-human state? That no matter what you do, or how hard you work, you don't seem to progress. It's like swimming and swimming and swimming until your body gives out, and then finding out that you're still in the same stinking place you were trying to swim away from! You don't seem to make any progress, or maybe the little progress you make, shrinks away next to the giant's steps that others manage to make... So how do we grow feet that big?
