My chairman once said to me "You feel like you are driving along at 60mph, while everyone around you is going 90."
I've come to accept that is a perennial feeling if you start a company in the valley. If you aren't one of the bright shining stars like DropBox or Facebook, you can't help but wonder how you could be.
I think that feeling might still nag Zuckerberg a little bit too, and it's even that feeling that helps make decisions like "we need to buy Instagram right now for a cool bill."
It's not all bad to want a bit more. Greed is good as they say.
