A speaker crashed his race car after glancing in the rear-view mirror, flipping into a ditch. He uses that moment to argue why you should focus on your own goals instead of watching competitors. Progress comes from improving your craft, not from obsessing over what others are doing.

When I was younger, I was racing cars, and one time I was going around a turn and I looked for half a second in this little mirror to see this guy coming up behind me. The second I looked and I took my eye off where I was going, hit the edge of the road, flipped the car over. I ended up in this ditch. I was okay. There was a frame around me. If I could have been seriously hurt, I wasn't. Even that moment, focus on what you want to do. Nobody cares, and you got to have your own imagination and think of doing it your way. You realize, don't worry about who's behind you. Again, I'm not competing to beat them. I'm looking, how do I improve my own business? You might go look at the other guys and say, are they doing something better? How can I figure it out? You know, where they are, where you are in that lineup, who cares?
