In order to succeed..............someone or others must fail ?

[Terry Lao]

In order to succeed..............someone or others must fail? Agree or disagree?

This is a general question, which pertains to pretty much anything, including real estate. In real estate, there are many properties, but only a handful are really good deals. Thus, one needs to compete in knowledge, price, and competency to obtain this piece of real estate. A matter of supply and demand, in which there is only one winner for a single piece of property. All others who do not have the means, money, finance, or knowledge to become the winning bidder, are the losers. 

This is the truth that most do not want to acknowledge or accept. There is only one Super Bowl, World Series, or NBA winner in a given year. 

So in reality, if Bigger Pockets is helping everyone on this website with sharing knowledge and experience, then doesn't everyone win? Not really, 90% of the people on Bigger Pockets never take action.

My belief has always been that There are no limits when it comes to success. Keeping that in mind, suggesting that someone must fail in order for another to succeed would be like placing an artificial limit on success. 

That sort of limiting belief is common amongst quitters, which is why I refuse to believe it.
