Focus on competition has always been a formula for mediocrit

Summary

This quote suggests that excessively focusing on competition can lead to mediocrity rather than excellence. By constantly comparing oneself to others and striving to be better than them, the true potential for growth and innovation may be stifled. Instead of being driven by competition, the focus should be on personal development, fostering creativity, and setting goals that are independent of others' achievements. By shifting the perspective away from competition, individuals and organizations can cultivate their own unique talents and strengths, ultimately leading to greater success and fulfillment.
