In this competitive world, everything matters.
1) Getting into a top university
2) Cracking the standardized exam
3) Working for a top-tier organization
Ultimately, improving ourselves is the crux.

However, we don't need to term ourselves as "winners" or "losers" based on this never-ending quest for perfectionism & self-improvement.
Once 1000 Instagram likes & stellar test scores start to define you -
"Being rich", "Being fit", & "Being happy" don't make any more sense!
Don't feel compelled to do something in the pursuit of "perfectionism".
