Many successful people say they have a drive to compete. They want to be the best and crush their competition. When they have crushed it, they go into another field to crush other companies. They just love to be the best. Many also say they can't just stay on the beach and do nothing, they would get bored.
I'm not built like that at all. I've never been interested in competition - when I was 16 I couldn't understand what the big deal was, why is everyone so focused on beating the other team in a crappy, weekly friendly match between school teams? Who cares? I'm still like that today. I do like to do a good job (I'm a perfectionist) but I don't have a drive to be the best/biggest/strongest. And if I had the means I would probably be "on the beach" reading or goofing around for the rest of my life - I don't have the urge to prove anything to anyone.
Am I doomed to failure, or what? :shruggie:
