Although it might be tempting to leap before you look, you'll have much more success if you contemplate your next move before you actually make it. Everyone else seems to be flying past you at the speed of light, but you have enough work just getting your feet off the ground. Try not to monitor your progress by comparing it to others. Set some personal goals and then work on attaining them step by step instead of trying to keep up with a friend's or coworker's progress.
