Why do some people treat life like it's a competition?

Or a race ?

I seem to think that's the thing I struggle to get round in my head. I seem to find myself trying to measure up to those who unlike me, planned 18 to do this by 25 and then do that by 30 and so on. At 18, I had little idea about what to do in the long term although I small part of me wanted to be novelist because I remember being really into the lord of the rings books after watching the films but that came to nothing as I had different ideas as time went but I still wanted to be a writer but not much of a novelist.
