From a slightly different temperament: #1 stopped recording books in the class reading competition, because winning isn't as important as reading (after all, the point of the competition is to encourage children to read, and one is already reading all the time), and there was another child for whom winning mattered.

Went through this again in a later grade, with regard to recording times in the required reading log. Of course, this counted into one's grade.
