I have always been competitive; with my older brother, friends, in school, and in business. I believe competition is what helps keeps the bar set high. "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another" - Proverbs 27: 17
Intense
Whether it was playing soccer with fellow Malawians in Africa, trying to finish my school work quickest while keeping the highest scores, learning about as many animals, people and places as I could, travelling the world with my family, or just the daily aspects of growing up, I believed in doing it with as much passion and enthusiasm as I could muster. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength." - Mark 12: 30
Accountable
Regardless of how intensely I do things, or how competitive I become, without accountability to ensure I maintain integrity, it will be meaningless. I believe that family members, spouses, friends and fellow employees should hold each other accountable. We all have an obligation to each other to constantly raise the bar and never settle for less. "So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God." Romans 14:12
