Twice as Good on Half as Much

I need to be twice as good at life than I am now.  Then maybe I'll be ready for the life  dreaming of.

This might seem self-deprecating, and in a sense, it could be. I'm good at what I do, but I can always be better.  I'm good at what I do, but out there there's someone who's better.  I need to be better than that someone, because that someone is getting all my opportunities.
