What is your version of "the two types of people in the world

In Mahabharata, there is an incident mentioned in which a race was organised between Kauravas and Pandavas.
Duryodhan, who was the strongest Kaurava was always jealous of Bheema, the strongest Pandava. Bheeshma(The grandfather of Kaurava and Pandavas)was the supervisor of the race.
As the race started, Bheema started to run very fast and since Duryodhan was as fast as him, he was running alongside of Bheema. Since Duryodhan had a fear that Bheema would win in the end, he applied a dirty tactic.
He obstructed Bheema with one of his legs which resulted in falling down of Bheema. But Bheema got up and started running again with full speed without wasting even a second. He ran so fast that he ultimately caught up to Duryodhan and defeated him in the race in the end.
After the race was over, Bheeshma called Duryodhan and said this to him,
“Duryodhan! Instead of obstructing Bheema during the race, if you had ran much fast by yourself, you would have won. Your obstruction was able to stop him for a second only. It was of no use".
That tells us about the two types of people in the world.
First, who want to win in life by obstructing others. These are the people who never win.
Second, who actually win in life by demolishing and recovering from the hurdles posed by the first ones.
