True victory is not a victory over others. However, victory over yourself. Racing on the path of self-efficacy is a match to overcome fear, aversion, arrogance, and all the burdens that hold themselves in the starting place.
The hard work of defeating others is utterly useless. Undue motivation is born of envy, envy or resentment. True success gives true happiness, which can not be achieved through tainted intentions.
Runners who run to beat other runners, will be left behind because busy peeking at the rate of his opponents. Runners who run to break their own records no matter whether other runners will catch up with them or not. No matter where and who his opponents are. He devoted all his attention to the improvement of his own record.
He bertading with himself, not against other people. Therefore, he does not need to cheat.
The desire to defeat others is the beginning of self-defeat.
