Competition made me better
I was always a below avg folks. Getting around 50-60% marks in exams . But fortunately my closest friend in the school was a topper. That somewhat pushed me to do hard-work.
Same thing happened in college. My college buddy turned out to be a topper. That again pushed me to worked hard. Graduated with good grades. We both went to join TCS. Was complacent for initial 2 years. My friend switched to Deloitte within 3 years and it again forced me go onto my toes and start working hard.
Now I am pretty stable , got decent hikes in these years.
Moral of the story - Surround yourself with decent folks , somehow they bring you the best from you
Competition is when One motivates oneself by looking at anyone and everyone who is better than self.
What you say is not competition. It's just envy.
Healthy competition makes humans stronger, but comparison makes humans weak. By the way, how to start a career as a Data Engineer?
Copied my replied from above. Depends on for what exactly we are competing. Something materialistic or artificial is useless. Something intrinsic which makes you an overall better person or your life better , is always good for competition. Not to show off but for your own sake, to introspect how far you came in the journey !!
Yeah, there is a famous saying about being in the company of people better than you. Of course we can’t have everyone around to be better than us, if at least a few of them are better, or on par with us, that keeps pushing us to do better. I am pretty sure many of us have faced similar scenarios.
Very true
In Competitions , you will never be happy

This is nice.. Healthy competition 🙌🙌
True this
We as humans absorb a lot even without knowing it. One of the oldest strategies is to be friends with smart people and absorb some of the skills, they have better.
I get overwhelmed by competitions I am not sure why maybe this is only me , I was never good at studies 😔, neither I after 5 years i am feeling like it isn't for me I started with python and all then I am feeling like moving into testing but then no future there with ai and all coming I get overwhelmed and anxiety attacks and Idk if anyone can relate me or help me but this is not condition also in here currently I am in bench with constant fear of loosing job , i am getting stardulded by smallest of notifications
