A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others – Ayn Rand

How you climb a mountain is more important than reaching the top – Yvon Chouinard
It’s not whether you when or lose, it’s how you play the game. The same is true about climbing a moutain. If you get to the top, but you had to sell your soul, then what’s the point. If you climb the mountain on your own through hard work and individual effort, but you don’t reach the top, you have a lot to be proud of.
