If you taste something, you're not at the maximum of your ability. What I think about in competition is temperature and texture. It has nothing to do with taste or emotion.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Fastidious taste makes enjoyment a struggle.
One cannot develop taste from what is of average quality but only from the very best.
Deciding taste is egotistical, but that's how taste is established, by somebody having the courage to say, 'I don't want to sell that.'
There are two kinds of taste, the taste for emotions of surprise and the taste for emotions of recognition.
Taste is the fundamental quality which sums up all the other qualities. It is the nec plus ultra of the intelligence. Through this alone is genius the supreme health and balance of all the faculties.
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.
Competition can be the most nerve-racking experience. Some people just thrive on it.
I think competition can make people stronger at whatever it is they're competing on. If we're competing in some athletic event for competitive swimmers, really intensely competing, it's likely that both of us will become better, but it's also quite possible we'll lose sight of what's truly valuable.
Having no competition is a bad thing. Competition makes you try to improve yourself all the time.
Exuberance is better than taste.
