A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms.” — Zen Shin
This is how I feel about life. My father taught me to never compete with others but simply do the best you can.

Your father taught you well. He was a wise man with a wise daughter.
(Membrillo is indeed a popular fruit in Colombia)

Wonderful.

Actually I think you are right. Some competition could be healthy as long as it’s to make yourself better. It’s in the intention.

This is an interestingly arguable point. It can be contended that the most successful bloomers attract more pollinators, so refining does take place. Similarly, human competition can be a healthy thing, leading to refinement of performance?
