What is this question asking exactly?
Answer:
When he tried to be competitive to win, he felt unmotivated, but when he was competitive to overcome himself and stand out, he felt motivated.
Explanation:
The author of the text begins by explaining that when he was a child and participated in swimming competitions, he had no interest in winning first place all the time, but he was motivated to win each race in a different position so that he could have a ribbon of each color . Having a ribbon of each color was motivating for him and made him compete to win his own desires, without the need to win the competition forever.
He mentions the moment when he tried to be competitive to win as a demotivator, because it made his performance drop, as well as his interest in the competition. In this way, it shows how competition to stand out, especially for yourself, is more important than being competitive in order to win.
