Summary
In this episode, Sean Combs shares with us the importance of healthy competition not just with the others but also with the self.
For Sean Combs, healthy competition is a necessary element of one’s growth, development, and success. He adds that it motivates us to do our best and forces us to go beyond our limitations.
To know oneself is the beginning of wisdom. This is why Sean also emphasizes that educating oneself should be a priority. According to Sean, every single day is an opportunity to be a better version of yourself compared to who you were yesterday.
Finally, knowledge of the self is the foundation of real success. After all, isn’t it that the unexamined life is not worth living?

| 0:00.0 | Yo, today's QOD is we got to get back into reading. Here we go. |
| 0:31.0 | Welcome back to the quarter of the day show. I'm your hope, Sean, |
| 0:34.3 | Crox and the Sean Crox and calm. We got Sean, |
| 0:37.5 | Ditty, Combs, all the show today wrapping up our week. |
| 0:41.6 | And he's going to tell you what it takes to compete at the highest level. |
| 0:48.6 | How do you get yourself up to the front of the crowd instead of in the back? |
| 0:54.8 | And here's the thing, my friends, and I've said this before, |
| 0:57.2 | it has never been easier to get into the front of the pack. |
| 1:02.0 | Here's the reason why, because most people don't have goals. |
| 1:08.4 | Most people, even if they have a goal, aren't willing to say no to things that aren't in alignment with those goals. |
| 1:16.7 | Most people aren't willing to sit down and work. Most people aren't willing to sit down and read. |
| 1:23.2 | They're not willing to learn. They want to Netflix and chill and hang out and, you know, |
| 1:30.2 | just do what just fine. But here's the thing, as he says in this clip, |

| 1:40.6 | No, you got to work. And if you do it step by step, you know, |
| 1:45.8 | little by little, a little becomes a lot, you start to make your way to the front of the crowd |
| 1:50.4 | in front of all the people who aren't willing to say no and to read and to do the things. |
| 1:56.4 | So I just encourage you to, you know, read more and learn more, |
| 2:01.4 | because that's really the only way you're going to be able to develop your skills and to make yourself more valuable. |
| 2:06.4 | And as Jim Rohn said, a couple of weeks ago, if you're not very valuable, you don't get much money. |
| 2:13.4 | And that's real. So make yourself valuable, read books, learn new stuff, get to the front of the crowd. Here's Ditty. |
| 2:21.4 | Puff, competition. You all about the competition. You've been number one on Forbes forever. |
