Although I am quite excellent at speling and many are jealoos of my ability, I have another viewpoint. Those that you deem more accomplished than yourself are the very people you want in your life as an example of what you hope to achieve. With great good fortune, one or more of these people may choose to be your mentor.
Consider the alternative that you are the "high mark" among the people you associate with. Where would you find the drive to strive for greater accomplishment?
Great topic, by the way.
