Ví dụ
“There is never any hard feelings (không buồn phiền chi cả). When we train we’re really competitive and want to get one up on each other but as soon as the whistle goes at the end of training, we’re really good mates again having a coffee and having a laugh. It’s a really good environment.”

'Now I am so dialled-in on what I need to do for the team to be successful and that's a big, big part of why I've had to work so hard, because my ego used to rule me. 'I always had to get one up on people or confront people but now if you target me, that is wasting energy.' Sinckler spoke about how much he owes to Eddie Jones for not losing patience with him.

In “Chapter Seventy-Two: To Die For,” written by showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and directed by Shannon Kohli, things are picking up where we left off, with Jughead’s seemingly dead body in possession of the Riverdale PD — and Jughead’s father, FP Jones (Skeet Ulrich) on the warpath (đánh nhau, ẩu đả nhau). Betty gave up Jughead’s body in order to get one up on the Stonewall Prep squad, specifically two devious students named Bret Weston Wallis (Sean Depner) and Donna Sweett (Sarah Desjardins). It was a surprising move because all the evidence points to Betty and her friends, not to Bret or Donna (even if they’re probably responsible).
