Quote: "It goes by different names, but its the same thing. It's what makes you practice, and what allows you to dig down and pull it own when you most need it"
Comment: The quote above is alluding to positive character; having the motivation to train, and having the hunger for honest victory. Great athletes all share positive character. This reading speaks a lot to motivated athletes, it speaks to the idea that athletes aren't champions at the finish line, rather they are champions in the days upon weeks upon years of training they dedicate for a single moment. But why do athletes dedicate so much time and effort for a moment? They give this time and effort for the glory of victory, the sound of success, the feeling of completion, greatness. Math is in some respects the same way, much like how athletes train to attain their goals, students must study and dedicate their time to understanding math. Once they have begun to do this, they are on the right path to the math equivalent of glory, succes, and completion: an A in Dave's class.
Question: In competitive environments, is it still important to help others?
