It's kinda disgusting, but it is true to a degree. The more others achieve, the more you need to achieve yourself to get ahead of them. Especially if you're applying for college that i.e. only top 10% of students can enroll into. If you get a 43% on your entry test, but everyone else got 20% or less, you're technically the best of them all, even if you did terribly on that test.
Drawback of encouraging competition - people thrive off of others' failure and misery.
