In reference to point 2 and 'I've always been told I'm a smart kid and that I'll be a millionaire one day'
It's worth reading this recent thread and the comments.

The post is entitled 'Dear reddit, did you believe that one day you'd all be millionaires, rockstars and moviestars?' - taken from the quote in Fight Club.
It raises some interesting points about how we are brought up to believe the dream is achievable and often it takes a lot more hard work than we originally perceive.
I personally wouldn't compare myself to anyone else. I've worked with some of the smartest guys I know from a technical point of view, but they have lacked in other areas such as ideas and execution.
(Often the best technical people neglect important things like marketing, design and user experience - expecting the 'amazing product' to equal success).
