Do not accept anything but the best. Compete with yourself, not others, to achieve.
The person you are tomorrow should definitely be better than what you are today.
Use every opportunity that comes your way.

Drew Richard of Think Foolishly How to Think Like a Fool #31: Compete with Yourself
He fully incorporates a sense of play and creativeness to motivate one to set goals and to map out ways to reach those. Personally, I have been aware that I have 33 aspects of “self” for a few years now. Makes for endless entertainment ~:-)
The article is very well written and so funny! I am confident that as a student you will find his site a resource.
And, if you are more inclined toward physical activity as well as studying, you may find Compete Against Yourself by Ruth Siam of interest.
Random Neuron Misfires by David A. Desrosiers has posted Play Full Out and Let the Numbers Speak for Themselves
states simply, mind your own business and you will find success. Paying attention to the work effort, achievements and disappointments of others puts takes away from one’s focus on inherent motivators and creative resources that enable goal achievement. Tat vam asi, “I am that”, is another way to view competition; we all are one so there is no need to fret about comparing oneself to others.
The true value of competing with oneself is realised in its global influence, as demonstrated in the viewpoints and activities of the vice chancellor of Sant Gadge Maharaj Amravati University, in the newspaper article Compete With Yourself, Dr Singh. Her statements support the view that starting with oneself a world of changes can arise; the butterfly effect. For the tertiary student, self-competition becomes a way to train and achieve goals that have far reaching impacts. One is enabled to aid others in gaining a higher standard of living, as well as oneself. That is powerful.
What are your self competition strategies?
