Meeting a smart person and how life's a leveler

When I was young (not that I have become old now, this is more of relative reference), I always used to think I'm the best and smartest guy around. I always thought anything is possible. At that time, for me the goals were very high.
Call it destiny or my ignorance, two things has happened, with time,
a) I realized that there were lot of people as good as me around. Then with more time I realized the greater truth, that I'm just about average and there are much more extremely talented and gifted people around. This fact was and is very hard to digest.
b) My goals started becoming more and more realistic and ordinary. What would have seemed like an ordinary life, few years back, now sounds like a dream.

Life is a great leveler. This truth becomes more and more clear to me, as my journey continues !
