While doing an interview at USC, Kobe Bryant was asked, “Have you had to turn down your competitiveness in your new work environment?”
“He said yes because basketball is such a direct competition, but the competitiveness I bring to work every day is helping people be competitive with themselves. If you are animating something, writing a screenplay, or composing a piece of music, is that the best you can do? Is this the best you can do, and if the answer is yes, then off we go!”
This is a valuable message for us all. Find ways to be competitive with yourself. Compete every day to do the best you can do.

4 - If not, where can you make improvements?
