I don't believe that winning others is a sustainable source of motivation in the first place. A true master must learn to love one-upping himself again and again. Otherwise his skills are dependent on continuously finding someone greater to compete against. This becomes harder and harder when he gets better. Similarly I believe that you can't build a successful business solely based on beating the competition. People talk about competitiveness and competence all the time and I smell false. I think that success is a side-effect of doing what you can't not do.
