Have no idea about what point you are trying to make. If you want to become better at something than someone else you must improve yourself. The two ideas are not mutually exclusive.
If you don't let others inspire you and show your potential, you will not have a clear goal. Your idea of what you want to achieve will be fussy and your progress will go slower. The bigger the goal, the more you will have t fight for it.
"Being better than the person you were yesterday" is excellent, but you need more than that. Alone it will not help you achieve anything in life. Whatever you do in life you need to be better than other people. If not it means that you are the worst at everything, so you won't get a job, come last in every sport and you will be lonely because your social skills will be worse than everyone else.
Aim to reach for the stars. Maybe you can't reach them, but maybe you can end up in a tree top. If you don't strive to achieve something you will stay on the same place and same level even if you every day become "better then the person you were yesterday."
