Someone once said that the rationals

Jordin Sparks
American Musician
I do consider myself a competitive person, but I'm not competitive to the point where I will do anything to win. I wouldn't step on somebody just to get to the next level. I would have to do it fair and square. I'm kind of competitive in a way to where I like to figure out things myself, and if I need help, I'll ask.
Quote examples
Bill Kurtis

Eric Greitens
