A Worthy Opponent

Maybe you’ve heard it said that no matter how good you are at something there will always be someone better than you. Well it’s true — he beat me at two games of checkers today. In fact, he has beaten me at every game I ever played with him my whole life! Likewise there will always be someone worse than you too. That’s right you’ll beat him 100% of the time. So who are these people? Tell me who is this person is that will always beat me? — I want to avoid playing him. And who is this person I will always beat? — I want to play him more often. Oddly enough these persons are one and the same: You.
