What he doesn't mention is that life itself is a zero sum game. If there's only 1 job opening and someone else gets the job, then I dont get the job. If someone eats an apple, that's an apple I dont eat

Agreed, it's terrible

If you fail less than others you are technically a success at something

I get his logic but he's kinda talking in extremes. I mean, someone has to be number one by default, even if no one tries.

Nope. You measure progress against where you were. Yesterday, last week, last month, last year, etc.
Personally, I have come further this year than I ever thought possible. Feels good mang.
