Chances are, there are people that have been doing this longer, and are simply better than you right now. The only thing you can do about that is improve yourself, and let the chips fall where they may. Generally, your respect will improve as you improve, and ultimately, I believe what we really want is respect from our peers.

Good reply. I agree.
