Congratulations, first of all, on your progress and your current position. These numbers are a visual representation of all your hard work and dedication here at Hive.

Regarding the topic of competition, it has always been inevitable for human beings to compete. Even unconsciously, one tends to compare oneself to others and measure progress or results. As for Hive, I started less than two years ago and, while I feel I haven't done too badly personally, I also think I could have done more. And yes, I admit that this is partly because I see other accounts on Hive that are doing much better than me.

However, instead of thinking badly of others or doubting those results, I take them as an example that I can do more, as long as I set my mind to it. Let's say that competing, whether with others or with yourself, is good because - on the one hand - you can see the possibilities you can achieve if you put in more effort. It also motivates you to keep going and not give up due to lack of motivation or whatever.

I want to see it that way, in a much healthier way than many others think when talking about competition.

Good post.
