Competition is good, as long as it isn't unfair towards the other competitors.

You didn't do anything wrong, in fact you were better than all those kids who were propelled by greed and selfishness, who coludn't care less for anyone else.

Hats off to you.

Being the better person is more important than being a selfish little person who thinks that their success at the expense and damages to others is worth something. People like that die all alone and never have the respect of others. The people around them are brown noses or even worse just like them and would gladly do unto them what they have done to others.

So I say a big YES to being more competitive, and a bigger YES to being a better person the entire way through your life on this earth.

Don't let the petty little greedy selfish people influence any part of your thoughts, they just are not worth the time of day.

As you concluded:

"Patience doesn't mean waiting your turn, to me it means working until an opportunity presents itself."

Excellent read dude. Thanks for the post.
