There is competition, but it is used in a good way. It is positive to want to go first, provided the intention is to pave the way for others, make their path more easy, help them, or show the way.

The Christian is free from all other human beings. He does not have to live over against others, controlled by their actions and responses. Rather, he lives according to Christ's commands. This is Christian freedom. It is a freedom unknown by others.

It is the Lord Christ when we serve!

You are where you are today because you stand on somebody's shoulders. And wherever you are heading, you cannot get there by yourself.

We exist temporarily through what we take, but we live forever through what we give
