Mathematics. Also, being a competitive person will lead you to be logical and a critical thinker, in the name of winning and 'being the best'
I have concerns about being motivated by the competitive spirit, unless one also has a fine since of ethics and honor. Competitiveness without a sense of ethics and honor, can result in some kind of monster that we all may wish had never been born, such as men like Hitler, Bush and Cheney, and this confusion over if water boarding is torture, and if a person can judge if water boarding is torture, if this judgement does not come from the "authority" of Bush and Cheney.
