How should I view my opponent in competition?

Be thankful they are there - without opponents, there is no competition. Do not hate them or view them as enemies. They have not done anything bad to you; you actually need them. Too much aggression blinds you in the fight and makes you wedded to a particular plan. Be competitive but not personal. When it is done, shake hands and be friends.
