"There's nothing noble about being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self."

--Hindu proverb"

It's best when you outdo yourself. Its hard not to focus on the other person. But then they may just bring you down to their own level. Our politics is infested with people worried about how well the other person is doing and what they got in comparison to you. That's too bad since it could help lift both all of us up and make life better for the next generations to come.
