Please do not compare yourself to other people, famous top developers. There may be a pace and limit to grow for every of us, set by nature, background etc. It will not motivate you, moreover you don't know the price those people paid for being exceptional. Try to compare yourself today with yourself yesterday. Learn, build something. Apply the idea of deliberate practice - choose projects, jobs that are close to your limit, those that will make you struggle and learn more. Try to work with smarter people, pick their knowledge, good habits.
