The competitive types tend to broadcast their intentions as they approach, and therefore are easy to redirect right past you and into a crumpled heap of confusion and disappointment, on the ground behind you as you walk away. They can easily be tricked into gloating over "winning" when in fact you have produced exactly the outcome that you intended. Their narrow vision doesn't allow them to see the bigger picture.
The most important competition is with yourself, i.e. self-control. Among the three key factors shown to be indicators of a child's future success in life (IQ, family's socio-economic status, and self-control) only self-control can be improved with effort.

gives you a little joy or excitement or awe, then you're on the right track.
