If you compete and get humiliated from not being prepared it should make you go home and worker harder for the next time. If you just walk away and accept defeat you will never become better. You can also be the second best team in the world and acknowledge that someone better beat you. You don't have to be happy with it though. You can take that as the inspiration to improve and get more sponsers, resources, mentors or whatever you feel you needed to improve. Just don't stay static and accept mediocraty.

Complacency as the best has kicked many firms off their pedestal as well. Just look at the current state of
RIM (go to the 5 year view), and what almost happened to the Ford Motor Company.
On the other hand, driven firms with vision can accomplish remarkable things in short time frames, look at the meteoric rise of
Apple or
Airbus.

This is fantastic. If anyone ever gets mad at the regulators, it is competitive.
