I am a disappointment to my family.

i'm 22, and i always repeatedly disappoint my family...i'm always being compared to my successful older brother. not that i resent it (because i know the he really is better than me)

i supposed to graduate a year ago, but ofcourse i always end messing things up..and i delayed my graduation to this year march and then i messed up again, and delayed it next year(2014 march)..now i'm thinking that i'll mess up again and fail to graduate..

i was always been the weakest link in this family, my mom and brother are achievers(yah my dad left us before i was born) anyway..i'm so so depressed now...

Not better, not worse, but different.
It is not fair to compare one child to another each is an individual and special in their own right.
If can move away from these negative attitudes you should.

One problem with the human mind is its need to associate value and worth to things. This wouldn't be so bad if it didn't have the problem of associating an incorrect label and value to things. What other people think of you has no value. It does not define you at all, unless you allow it to. Remember that the need to judge people is not a reflection of the person being judged, but of the person who judges as someone who needs to judge in order to define themselves. Follow your heart and be who you want to be, and who you know you can be. Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard. Henry Ford barely had more than a few months of formal education. History is littered with people who accomplished amazing things, but were thought to be nothing special by the definitions of other people.
