“Self-accomplishment”
Ayn Rand, the Russian-American writer and philosopher, who is known for her two best-selling novels, The “Fountainhead” and “Atlas Shrugged”, had this to say, “A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.” These are very profound thoughts and talk about the kind of attitudes creative people possess.
People who are interested in achieving their goals are keen on enhancing their skills and capabilities. Their success doesn’t depend on others’ failures. If you are encouraged and motivated by the desire to beat others, then it means not only you are betraying your own goals; also it indicates that you lack the confidence and motivation to accept that you can stand up to your own challenges.
