He suggests that you pick fewer battles in the new year. “Here’s a classic case in point: You have a hard day at work. You go home to your husband, wife or partner who says, ‘I had such a hard day;’ and we reply, ‘You had a hard day? Do you have any idea what I had to put up with today?’ We are so competitive we have to prove that we are more miserable than the people we live with,” he guffawed.
Goldsmith shared that example in his class at Dartmouth’s Tuck School and “a young man in back raised his hand and said, ‘I did that last week.’ I asked him, ‘What happened?’ He said his wife replied, ‘Honey you just think you had a hard day. It’s not over!’ The next time you try to win, take a deep breath and ask yourself: What am I trying to win and what’s the point?”

Stuart Crainer & Des Dearlove conduct the highly regarded Thinkers50survey every other year to identify and celebrate the latest global influencers of our day. Crainer once escorted Peter Drucker, the father of management science, after an interview in London, where Drucker shared an ethos that has echoed among thought leaders at the T50 conference ever since:
“The book you should want to write” during your career, he said, is “How to Make a Million and Still Go to Heaven,” Drucker told him.
You should ask yourself, is what you’re doing worth it over the long haul? Are you climbing the career ladder with a conscience? Ultimately, life isn’t about “competing with anyone else; the only person you are competing with is yourself.”
