There were 10,000 Olympians in 2012 and all of them wanted and devoted their lives to being the best, even if they didn't take gold.

I don't think there could possibly be a more stupid, pointless, and horribly depressing zero sum game than being a professional athelete, if all you care about is being "the best". Same about being a scientist who only cared about scoring a Nobel rather than achieving results.
