I found that much of my free time was spent socializing with friends and participating in many sports and hobbies. I've discovered that much of my daily life revolves around competition, from college football to playing video games with friends. Competition has always interested me from a very young age, when I started playing football. However, I have discovered that there is a distinction between healthy competition and unhealthy competition within my own interests. Healthy competition was about doing my best to progress and develop a skill or process. Conversely, unhealthy competition was all about winning and a trap I fell into repeatedly. In today's workplace, healthy competition can be a monumental tool used to engage and motivate employees. In class we talked about a company called Nucor that used competition within teams to advance technology through innovation and increased production. I believe that my interest in racing and my competitive drive, when instrumented in the right environment, could be a huge motivator in the future.
