L'XXX, ce n’est pas une course contre les autres
La priorité, c’est que vous vous plaisiez dans ce que vous faites, et surtout que vous en viviez.La deuxième étape, c’est l’effet de levier. C’est quand la récurrence vous permet de payez vos charges.

Non-PRO (1): Rui Domingues
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion
O/A XXX não é uma maratona para ver quem chega primeiro/em primeiro lugar
Ou substituir por "desafio", ou até "prova" que não destoa.
Para a maioria dos corredores, o principal objetivo da maratona não é chegar em primeiro lugar, mas superar os próprios limites.

Não sei se é adequado ao contexto: se superamos os nossos limites é sinal que sentimos prazer naquilo que nos propomos fazer.
