Everyone has at least one friend who is the quintessential overachiever. We all know them: Your parents love them, they shine in your friend circle and rock at their jobs. While we keep struggling for little things in life, these overachieving friends are always one step ahead. How can a person top a class consistently, manage to have fun with friends, stay super fit, cook gourmet food and work with an N.G.O.? They sometimes make us question our own capabilities and wonder, “What am I doing with my life?”

Do you have a friend who excels beyond expectation at whatever he/she does? Well, then this is a must read for you.
