This shows that you are still very energetic. There is nothing wrong with actively demanding progress in your career, but you are a little anxious. I don't know why you want to surpass others. In fact, from another angle, people who walk in front of others will get more attention and pressure. No matter who comes first, as long as you have a fighting mentality, it is inevitable that there will be no sense of imbalance. I don't know much about invention patents, but I think it's not just the psychology of grabbing credit. I must have liked it before I entered this industry. So relax, as long as you do a good job you like and successfully invent new things you are interested in, fame and fortune can be put behind. Man, living is for fun. Why not find yourself uncomfortable and unhappy?
Don't say anything if you don't want to boast. You can seek experience. Only by learning from others' strengths can we make progress and invent patents first. Wish you success!
