If you boil rice, beans, and potato in the same pot, each will be cooked at different times. Never at the same time. So, don't get jealous when you see your mates succeeding before you. Your time will come. Just keep on cooking! The potato may get cooked before the rice, but the rice is more delicious. Rice cooks before beans, but beans are more nutritious. That others succeed before you does not mean they will succeed better than you. Face your race and leave them to their place. Because “the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong”-Ecclesiastes 9:11
