The more people compete, the less anyone can eat.
Originally, everyone could share a bit, but now with the competition getting out of hand, the pot has been overturned.
What could have been a low-key, steady approach has now turned into—
No benefits secured, opportunities are hanging in the balance, all stuck in the middle without moving.
Any approach that defies common sense will eventually be brought back on track.
Once the rules start to become clear, those who took shortcuts to get ahead,
are often among the first to be eliminated.
In fact, the script has already been written:
Blindly competing will ultimately lead to losses, and it won't be others who suffer, but oneself.
