Thread: Beginner LD competition?

Good job PennyRoyal!(I want to say Penny, but that is a girl's name... What do you wish to be called?)

Post your dream!

I feel like some people get discouraged by competition, some people get encouraged. If you are the type to get encouraged, then you should always have competition on your mind. I am always seeking out people to contend with and new challenges, but I was raised on competition.
I do not see how competitions can make someone discouraged, but a lot of people feel this way, so it is something that must be normal, though I do not understand. I have seen people (like McWillis, Mastermind a few others) that are really good LDers and do not like counting or anything like that for psychological reasons, so you can reach the top without worrying about competition. Remember to play to your own strengths and away from your weaknesses. This applies to all things in life and especially to LDing.

It really depends for me. Keeping track of my LDs under my avatar and seeing the number everytime I posted something bothered me, because it wasn't as high as I wish it was.

Putting a little pressure on myself to 'race' someone on the other hand is a motivator.
