You know the sort, i.e. you've just managed to cycle a mile uphill without stopping for the first time, you're worn out, but feeling pretty damn good about it. You tell someone, and they say "pash, I do that every day" smiley - cross burst my bubble why don't you!

You've set yourself up for a big goal, it's a big deal, you're a bit worried as to whether you can do it, but you're damn well gonna try, and if you succeed, it'll be amazing smiley - wow It'll be the hardest thing you've ever done, and you've done it! smiley - wow Then someone comes along and says "it's only a piddling thing" smiley - sadface

If you jog 10 miles every morning with 40lbs on your back before breakfast, that's great for ya smiley - ok. That doesn't mean my achievements are any less important. So don't come to me with your self-superiority comments because you think you've done 'bigger' things smiley - grr, it's all relative.
