Value the Challenge Over the Outcome

The speaker enjoys competing and challenging themselves, but once the competition is over, winning or losing does not matter to them. They recall an experience of attempting to circumnavigate the world in a hot air balloon but crashing in the Pacific. Despite not completing the journey, they found joy in the memories and experiences along the way. The speaker applies the same mindset to chess games and business challenges, emphasizing the importance of giving their best effort and moving on without dwelling on the outcome or failure. For the speaker, the essence of competition lies in the challenge rather than the result.
