Simplified meaning
When regular people try really hard and achieve great things, that's a good kind of competition. Imagine a school race where all the kids practice a lot. They run faster because they worked hard, even though they are not the best runners normally. In another example, think about a small business that does really well because the owner and workers put in a lot of time and dedication, even though they're not the biggest or most famous company. This shows that you don't have to be the best; you just have to work harder than others. This kind of effort and competition is healthy because it pushes everyone to do their best in a good way. Anybody can use this idea by always trying their hardest in whatever they do, knowing that effort can lead to success.
