Competition:
“Competition will be, after all, like mountain climbing, where everybody must get to the top. It’s not to leave somebody half-way where he can fall of and die. This is a different kind of a game. There are two kinds of games-- you or me and you and me. They are equally good games. The competition in the you and me is to see who can help the other most effectively-- that’s the competition. Who can understand most effectively on behalf of this other man. That if you really understand it better, I’m going to honor you better. We won’t be doing it on the basis of you have to do it to survive but because it’s a joy to understand and it’s an inspiration to understand on behalf of the other man. I live in that world realistically. I am 76, but you can see I am as excited about life as when I was four years old.”
