In any form of contests, we don't compete with our fellow contenders but we only compete with ourselves.
In the event that we will be joining a contest, we have to make certain preparations in order to showcase the best in us. And that's what other contestants do also. Regardless who are the other contenders, the moment we join a contest, we believe that we have what it takes to win it. We also believe that we are going to deliver what is expected from us and that we are worthy to be proclaimed as a winner.
We don't join a contest because we would like to outshine others nor prove that we are much better than the rest. Because if these are the very reasons why we are joining a contest, we are most probably starting on a wrong foot.
And the moment the much coveted prize or title will be given to a "worthy" contender, with all humility, we should learn to be humbled by the experience. That in every contest, there is only one winner. And if it is not yet the right time for us ,then, it cannot be given to us.
The experience gained from the event should give us enough insights on what particular improvements and preparations we are going to do if ever we are to join another contest in the future. By not bringing home the bacon should not mean ending our quest but it should serve as a challenge to further enhance and outdo ourselves.
