challenge yourself

Some people despise and fear competition, and some managers can misuse it. But, if viewed correctly, a healthy dose of competition can keep you on your toes, make you ratchet up your game, and inspire growth. In other words, competition can challenge you to “be all that you can be.” And competition as part of a team can help you learn to work with others to succeed.

The trick is to compete with yourself to do better.

Seeing someone else succeeding at a higher level or producing work of greater quality doesn’t have to lead to envy or jealousy. It can inspire you to grow, to explore, to learn more, to try harder. This is positive competition in action.

Instead of feeling bad because someone may be doing better than us, we can up our game because we feel inspired and motivated. Sometimes we’re inspired and motivated out of fear—fear we may lose our job or the account. And sometimes we’re inspired and motivated because we admire quality and the rewards of success and want to produce quality results as well.

Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong used this type of challenge-yourself-competition to good effect. When it came down to it, he knew he couldn’t control his competition in a race; he could only control how he performed. So he used his competition to motivate himself. He studied what they were doing, and when he saw they were doing well, he used that “fear” to put his own training in overdrive—and was amply rewarded for his hard work. At his retirement party, he thanked his competition for motivating him.

It’s the “run your best race” philosophy. And in order to run your best race, you need to be in top form. You need to continually challenge yourself to improve and not get complacent.

Try to learn from someone achieving more than you. Maybe they could mentor you. In that way, competition melds into collaboration, and then you and your company will see the benefits.

Things to remember

· Learn from your competition’s achievements as well as their mistakes. Don’t see him or her as the enemy. Remember, there may be a time when even the fiercest of rivals need to ally to face a bigger battle.

· Differentiate between outside competition (other companies that you compete with) and inside competition (the workplace). Keep internal competition healthy by using another person’s success to motivate you. Don’t follow a “destroy” your competition philosophy because then you’re “destroying” a co-worker, and it takes many people to make a company successful.

· Look for mentors to challenge you to better your performance, and be a mentor to others.

· Focus on the big picture and view getting results as being good for your department and company, as opposed to being good only for yourself.

· Keep an up-to-date record of your achievements and be able to communicate your overall value.

the blame/the answer

the blame

If you see me walking the road with someone else
It's not because I like his company
It's because you're not brave enough to walk beside me.

If you hear me talking about him all the time
It's not because he pleases me
It's because you're too deaf to hear my heartbeat.

If you feel me falling with someone new
It's not because I love him
But because you're not there to catch me if I fall.

If you feel lost, I too am nowhere
I,too, don't know where the road is going.
Are we gonna cross each other's path
Or just completely turn around?
Will we just let go of what we had
Or go to the place where love is bound?

Don't let me walk with him
It's you I want to walk with.
Don't let me talk of him
It's you I want to talk with.
Don't let me fall for him
It's you I want to fall in love with.


The Answer

When you thought I wasn't brave enough to walk beside you
I was behind you every step of the way
Still filled with awe because of the beauty that stands before me.

When you thought I was too deaf to hear your heartbeat
I didn't want to assume anything
And I was afraid to loose our friendship.

When you thought I wasn't there to catch you
It was because you never gave me the chance
You never reached the bottom, you've already grabbed a branch.

If you feel like you are nowhere, I too am lost
I too don't know where the road is going.
Are we just going to turn around
Or are we gonna cross each other's path?
Will we just let go of what we had
Or go to the place where love is bound?

Don't let me walk alone
I want to walk by your side.
Don't let me talk of something else
It's you I want to talk with.
Don't let me fall for someone else
It's you I want to fall in love with.
