That's a very good insight. To make matters worse, once you're on a global level (or internet level) you find that practically everybody so driven to be that top performer is a monster… or at the very least, has a bunch of toxicity relating to the pressure they impose upon themselves to attain that top performance.
Those who aren't prepared to have the toxicity… drop out, before becoming the very top performer.
The larger the pool of competitors, the more obvious this effect. By now, with globalized commerce and global internet, it's pretty obvious.
- galfarragem 8y agoI went to a top competitive field (at the time) in a top university in my country. A place where every student was the best in his former school. Resuming: a competitive field in a competitive school. You can imagine the rest, I feel even embarassed to tell extra details. I have to admit, high competion feels good at times and is addictive but in the end it was just an illusion: the field lost importance (Architecture) and people slowly - nobody wanted to be the first to abandon ship and assume a defeat - acknowledged how patetic was to compete 24/7 for nothing. Nowadays I can see how toxic that environment were.
