Another thing I have realised at IIM I is that I am not the best in the world.
I am not conceited, proud, or even self centered; people who know me will whole heartedly attest that. But I did have an image of myself where I thought I was quite capable. In fact, very capable.
It's only when one lands in such elite company that one realizes ones real worth. Though I know for a fact that I am better than most of the people here, but I also have to realize that I am not as good as a sizable number too! They don't have relative grading for nothing; it really puts your self-perception into perspective.
And better or worse isn't just about marks. It's about personality, knowledge, application, intelligence, wit, charm, and any of the many qualities one wishes for.
Frankly, if nothing else, this past one month has been the greatest leveler in my life. It is to be seen whether I learn from it and grow, or give it up as a bad joke. Hoping (and trying) for the best. Later...

You could have elaborated a little more. I got your feeling. But not the context. Probably some examples would help.
That was a good realisation ( as you may call it)
