...i'm going to win...

Personality quiz question:

Are you a competitive person?
If so, has it made things better or worse for you?

(Edited to add a trophy picture as requested! =D)

Yep, very. Always have been, but doesn't mean I have to win. As long as I know that I have done my best, I am happy with that.

there's no such thing as second place, just the winner and first loser

Sorry words of a pure loser.......

Yah, i'm really competitive. If I loose, I always try and rebound back with a huge win. When I have a bad golf game, I sit down, review what I was doing, then to go to the range or on the course again and correct what I was doing wrong.

All in all, very competitive. Cant wait for hockey season to start up again......

Some people need the competition to help them succeed and reach further. I find I'm more 'self-competitive' (if that makes sense)...trying to do better than my last attempt. But, I'm not very competitive when it comes to others. That's what I've convinced myself, at least!

Essentially, we all want to win one way or the other, what differs is the scale of the task.

But I guess that doesn't answer the original question.

being competitive and working out with someone who is about the same level and competitive is excellent.

my yoga instructor says i'm too competitive. you wouldn't believe what some 50 year old housewives can do with their bodies.

i'm very competitive too.... i can get competitive about anything/everything... that's what a lot of sports does to you i guess...

personally I think it's a good thing... i mean we are in a capitalistic society... if you don't win you lose... and that means you don't get the job, don't get the promotion, don't close the sale etc...

it's all about being competitive (read: all about winning)

the effort is important, but me putting forth my best effort won't make me feel any better if i were to loose...

Essentially, losing is a type of winning, it is just on the other end of the spectrum.

So the winner and last place are really, the winners. Everyone else in between sucks donkey's *****.

I know I have.
