How one perceives other’s intention is a complex phenomena, 
intentions can be any by any one , but perception of that by other man matters, who sees good or bad in it , but not to the one who does his task what his intention may be .
also any task has an intention . i read a lot , but i do not just read as a hobby to idle away time , my intention is to widen my horizon, but my colleague who generally skips reading tells me that i am a book worm 

in my early days, i saw good handwriting of my friend. i felt why not i ?
i did it , i showed to him , instead of appreciating, and taking it as an incentive to improve further , may be he felt i am maligning him and stopped friending with me , but i just did not bother for appreciation or criticizing even to day i can write beautifully, and i find handwriting is a great joy , and art , i simply love . to write beautiful hand writing with a relish, in any language 
so the spur to excel is the point, competition, yes, it is a spur
do not bother on perceptions of others, even evaluation by others is meaningless, best criteria is, whether you are deriving joy or not 
anando brahma, creating newness in every task, reaching higher and higher heights is just blissful
