It's common for people to overlook the work, the dedication and the daily "boring" decisions that building something of value takes. No body wants to be disciplined, but everyone wants the results that that discipline produces. Plenty of people will say that they wish they had accomplished what you have, without seeing the years of struggle and pain it took for you to get there. People see the big things and they conveniently miss the small things. When it's actually all the small things that paved the way for the big things. You cannot be impressed by someone's accomplishments while simultaneously ignoring the process it took to get there.
