The problem with being #1 is that you soon realize that you have no real objective other than constantly worrying about staying #1, and that leads to the worry and conjecture as to what #s 2, 3, and 4 are up to, because #2 & etc. have a firm objective; to become #1.

#1 can soon become paranoid.



That's Sun Tzu, paraphrased.
