“It's not enough to shelve your own competitive streak. You have to try, consciously, to help others succeed. Some people feel this is like shooting themselves in the foot - why aid someone else in creating a competitive advantage? I don't look at it that way. Helping someone else look good doesn't make me look worse. In fact, it often improves my own performance, particularly in stressful situations.” PeopleWayFeelsTryingLooksEnoughFactsHelpingMy OwnSituationFeetSucceedCreatingAdvantagePerformancesCompetitionAidsHelping OthersShootingStressfulStreaksCompetitive AdvantageHelping SomeoneStressful Situations Author:Chris Hadfield
