 you can successfully get the best achievements but these would not take long and once you got discovered, you will be disqualified from the game forever. Winning will not bring you great satisfaction whenever it comes with bad intentions.
Moreover
, when you only focus on other weaknesses, you will lose the chance to be the higher version of yourself because the only thing you can control is yourself.
On the other hand
, the willingness to always win can be beneficial when you are focused on your weaknesses along the journey. Being a competitive person can bring you many positive impacts when you keep committed to grinding yourself to become the best version of yourself. So, the competitiveness inside your mind would not bring harm or any abuse to others. These actions definitely should be followed by discipline and perseverance so you can conquer the world.

 these elaborations, being competitive in nowadays societies is not all bad. The reputation of being competitive should not affect our own in a bad way because being ambitious is just another way to survive in
this
 modern age as long as the end objective is always to become a better person than yesterday.
