Somehow, people act like I have no competition, but the thing is, the competition is so good that it forces me to be better than I even thought was possible.

I'm very competitive, and my ego couldn't handle that lack of success.

It's a very competitive world out there. The competitive spirit is fine within limits. But it shouldn't drown the sheer joy of the game being played. It's natural to want to win. But to me, it's not natural to want others to fail.

I've always been very competitive, and I've always had this desire to win my entire life. I guess when it comes to being in the cage, especially, I just hate losing more than I like to win. The idea of someone beating me just doesn't sit well.

I think one of the big issues with, you know, people who have strong faith in addition to competing is that conflict between accepting things the way they are, and wanting to compete and get better, and at what point are you in the right balance.

I'm a very competitive person. You won't change things unless you are prepared to fight, even if you don't win. But I do hate losing.

Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world.

You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don't win, at least you can be satisfied that you've tried. If you don't accept failure as a possibility, you don't set high goals, you don't branch out, you don't try - you don't take the risk.
