This is really apt. It's a battle of survival, and the earliest bird gets the worm. Those coming behind can still get theirs, just need to put in real effort. I'm almost a month here, and it hasn't been easy. Thankfully, there are contests, where everyone can stand as an equal, and the brightest shine through....
I have no problem with this, because it's similar to what we face in our everyday lives.

I'm learning and growing, slowly but surely. Challenge accepted.
