Lailah Gifty AkitaDo not compete with anyone. Seek to exceed your own expectations.
About This Quote
Competition is a driving force of humanity. When we compete, we’re all trying to get better. It can also be a fun way to connect with people around the world. However, when you compete with someone, you’re trying to beat them.
You may think you’re doing it for the right reasons, but more often than not, your motivations are more selfish. In addition, when you seek to exceed your own expectations, you set a high bar for yourself that will help you achieve great things in life.
