I think many get this wrong. Of course if your running in a race your not by yourself others are running with you. Its talking about Wisdom. If one is the fastest runner find out from him what he does to be as fast as he is but also being the winner doesn't mean that much here on this Earth but in heaven it means everything and if you make it to heaven you are a winner. God only ask us to try our Best and if we do in his eyes we are winner's. But Wisdom is a key to getting better. Find others that are older and that do things better and hang out with them. They don't even have to be saved. Its nice when they are but Wisdom is Wisdom no matter who they are. If you are changing spark plugs with a pair of pliers find someone else doing it a better way like using a socket and ratchet.

seeing that we all will receive a prize for the race we run individually,we should be encouraged to run with all deligence that we may obtain a better and incorruptible crown.
