When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.
The best athlete wants his opponent at his best. The best general enters the mind of his enemy. The best businessman serves the communal good. The best leader follows the will of the people. All of the embody the virtue of non-competition. Not that they don't love to compete, but they do it in the spirit of play. In this they are like children and in harmony with the Tao.
The wise man doesn't compete; therefore nobody can compete with him.
