You were placed on this earth to create,
not to compete.

Take someone who doesn't keep score,
who's not looking to be richer, or afraid of losing,
who has not the slightest interest
even in his or her own personality:
that person is free.

Life is not a competition with others. In its truest sense it is rivalry with ourselves. We should each day seek to break the record of our yesterday. We should seek each day to live stronger, better, truer lives; each day to master some weakness of yesterday; each day to repair past follies; each day to surpass ourselves. This is, simply, progress.

Real learning comes about when
the competitive spirit has ceased.
