When you compete with a person, you only have to be as good or better than the person to win. If you compete with yourself, there is no limitation to how good you can be.

Chin-Ning Chu

I wanted no part of politics. And I wasn't in Berlin to compete against any one athlete. The purpose of the Olympics, anyway, was to do your best. As I'd learned long ago from Charles Riley, the only victory that counts is the one over yourself.

Jesse Owens

I'd had an early stint in acting school, and there was something satisfying about becoming a character, about being inside another mind that you had to create out of yourself. As I moved toward a life in writing, I found many of the things I'd learned in acting school still applied.

Michael Redhill

The game has such a hold on golfers because they compete not only against an opponent, but also against the course, against par, and most surely- against themselves.

Arnold Palmer

We have met the enemy and have learned nothing more about him. I have, however, learned some things about myself. There are things men can do to one another that are sobering to the soul. It is one thing to reconcile these things with God, but another to square it with yourself.

Robert Leckie

I love acting. Modeling is fun, too, but I feel like there is more room to stretch yourself and open yourself up to new experiences with acting. That's why I got into acting in the first place.

Arden Cho

It's hard to say what you learn acting a part. You find bits and pieces of yourself that are inside the character you play. You locate the relatable aspects of that character to your own life. So, in a way, every part you play forces you to discover things about yourself you might not have learned otherwise.

Graham Patrick Martin

I've learned to use things like softness and vulnerability as weapons against the things you feel ashamed of in yourself.

Arca

The first rule of survival is: Make your own rules. The hell anyone thinks about the way you're acting; listen only to yourself.

Joan Rivers

At 15, I refereed my first match, and I was training at my dad's school even prior to that, so the only thing that I was concerned about - I guess the only thing that made me reluctant and was the reason I was in L.A. and the reason I went to acting school - was I thought maybe I wasn't big enough - physically big enough - to compete with WWE.

Cody Rhodes

Above all else, I had learned the one thing every person has to learn to make it through life: the only person you can truly count on is yourself.

CJ Roberts

There is only one person with whom to compete and that is yourself. Keep aiming to surpass your own best performance and ever strive to reach higher levels.

Norman Vincent Peale

I don't believe in competing with other actors. I believe the only person you can compete is with yourself. You can only do better work compared to your earlier work.

Vivek Oberoi

The main reason I like UFC is not just the martial arts aspect, but it's about one person against the other person. It's about being able to test yourself with the truth.

Donnie Yen

How would you compete against yourself?

Vinod Khosla

Acting was my classroom in many ways and I always believed and I still do that acting is not just about pretending to be someone else, it's also about discovering yourself and reaching deeper inside yourself.
