Do you conform to others in life and for competition?

[Femlifter]

Competition is a by-product of productive work, not its goal. A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat (or compare yourself to) others.” ~ Ayn Rand

"The world is in a conspiracy to make you conform. Others will think they know what you should be and how you should act and what you should think. And they will apply pressure to you to make you conform to it. But if you conform, you lose your soul. You lose your originality. You lose your connection to the Mystery. You lose your creativity and your aliveness."
