The author reflects on the dual nature of competitiveness, revealing how it drives excellence in work, sports, and personal life. However, this same drive can create negative experiences, such as aversion to games due to fear of losing. In competitive fields, such as tech, one’s self-worth often becomes tied to success or failure. The article emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy sense of competition to support personal and professional growth, rather than allowing it to transform into a source of stress or negativity.
But the same tendency that drives me to excel at these things can sometimes become counterproductive.
The trick is to keep your sense of competition healthy so that it serves your work and personal goals instead of getting in your way.
