How do you feel when someone is better than you/smarter than you?

I feel intimidated. I feel stupid. I feel embarrassed. I feel uncomfortable.And this happens to me frequently. I suspect part of the reason for that is that I love to be in the company of people who are smarter than I am.I approached Luis Alvarez to be my supervisor for my Ph.D. work. At the time, it seemed that everyone in the Physics Department at Berkeley considered him to be the smartest person they had ever known. Years later Richard Feynman told me the same thing about him. So most of my time with Alvarez was one of awe and a strong feeling of inferiority. I consoled myself that even if I eventually learned just a little of what he knew, what he could do, it would be an enormously valuable eduction.One day I recall putting my hand to my head and pretending to turn a key. I called it my “ego key” and I had to turn it off in order to keep working with Alvarez. Forget ego; just learn everything I could possibly learn.I recall when I first joined JASON (Alvarez had nominated me) and I found myself working with dozens of people, every day during the summer, all of whom were vastly smarter than I was. They included Freeman Dyson, Dick Garwin, Steve Weinberg, Mal Ruderman, Walter Munk …. I remember the stress that being surrounded by such smart people triggered in me. But I took solace that I was in the most stimulating, learning enviroment that I could imagine. I knew it would be tough, but if I could survive, I would emerge as a much better scientist.I survived. I later learned that it was a member of the Jason group who nominated me for my MacArthur Prize. In my mind, every one of the other Jasons qualified for that prize. I was somewhat awestruck to discover that any other of Jason actually considered me to be smart.This habit of keeping myself surrounded by super smart people continues today. It has not gotten any easier, but it has remained extremely stimulating and a great way to learn at a very deep level.I’ve tried to teach my children (and now my grandchildren) not to avoid discomfort. All adventures are characterized by discomfort. I recall some of mine: being lost in a deep cave, backpacking off trail in snow and sleet with no prospect of shelter for the night, wandering around in Moscow, struggling to find a way to study the Big Bang, facing a steep slope in Squaw Valley, writing a book, being a member of Jason ….
