“OUTDO: v.t. To make an enemy.”
(Ambrose Bierce 1842-1914, “The Devil's Dictionary”)

What do you think happens when you outdo ALL?
What do you think happens when you have ALWAYS outdone everybody?

Kinda reminds me of a project I had to do for my computer science exam. I ended up making about 90% of the entire system, though this wasn't because I didn't want to work as a team, the others just didn't do anything :|
