Elizabeth shares her perspective on the distinction between ambition and competitiveness, emphasizing that ambition is about striving to be the best version of oneself, independent of others' achievements. She reflects on her own lack of competitiveness, stemming from a desire to focus on personal goals rather than the relentless pursuit of beating others. This mindset not only shapes her writing but also influences her personal aspirations for growth and character development.In this clip
