 A ride w/BruceW & an obvious observation

In order to set and exceed goals, an individual needs motivational factors, -a "challenge to achieve". Gaining a realization of ones own abilities is a direct result of the motivational factor of competition. In competition, the individual can achieve their best, measuring their performance against other individuals.

Competitiveness needs the temper of compassion and wisdom. While a seamy side of competition is a "win at any cost" attitude. A wholesome perspective, is that one gains an ability to achieve their best, through competition.
