If you're a competitive person, that stays with you. You don't stop. You always look over your shoulder.
(Magic Johnson, Businessman and Retired Professional Basketball Player)
A competitive drive is what fuels success in whatever endeavor you choose to participate in. If the drive is lost than it's time to step out of that game and find a new one to fuel those competitive fires. For those who have this trait not using that competitiveness will cause a lifetime of problems for the ones who are not in charge of anything.
