Compete Quote by Andrey Rublev
“It makes no sense to compete in stupid things. Even if you're just playing video games or competing with your friends, it's not an honest relationship, not a real friendship. When I was a teenager, I started to see a lot of this, to realize that competition meant jealousy, and I didn't want to be like this.”
