Competition and collaboration
These two pillars of science have defined my career and shaped me as an individual. Over the past five years, I’ve experienced everything from profound friendships to shocking betrayals. Such encounters have taught me valuable lessons about myself and revealed a fundamental truth: humans must choose either to control their desires or be controlled by them.

Competition and collaboration aren’t exclusive to the realm of science. They are present in every relationship and interaction. Through them, people grow, build connections, and sometimes face discord or betrayal. What matters most is the purpose and direction behind these forces. Whether driven by self-centered ambition or guided by altruistic, community-focused goals, the outcomes of competition and collaboration differ greatly. Ultimately, it’s about how one competes and collaborates with oneself.
