In life, the race is only against yourself so run it tactically and not desperately.
Humans often run the rat race in a bid to impress others. What will be your story when they leave?
When you strive to be successful, don't be competitive about it. Be optimistic and plan for success as well as failure.
Life is full of opportunities and pitfalls.
Be happy when you run the race of life.
