Hello guys, good morning. How are you today? I hope you all in a good condition always. :)
Well, today I will write about competition. Do you like to compete with your fellows? 
For me, I don't like to compete with others, I just try to be better than before. When I was still in school, when I was going to take my final exams, my friends and I studied together, helping each other when there were difficulties. And at the end of the study session we both promised each other "Let's promise, whoever gets 100 points will have to treat to a bowl of meatballs."
And you know how the end result? Of course she was lucky to get 100 points, and I only lost a few points. Until his father said to me "Those who are teachers don't even get 100". Yes, because his father knows that I teach her more when studying. LOL.
Am I disappointed and jealous of her? Of course not, I was happy because she actually treated me to a bowl of meatballs, we both love meatballs. Even now, we are still good friends. LOL.
Now tell me, how about you?

Since I was small I was always exposed to competition. Competition at school would always be participated in addition to getting medals and ribbons for academic awards. When I work in a corporation I have to compete for low price with competitors, and now as a public servant I must compete for awards for efficiency. What I am saying is at all levels, in all undertakings competition will always be present.

That's right, in my opinion there is actually nothing wrong with competition, as long as it is competed in a healthy, sporty and professional manner. And don't drop each other.

I am naturally competitive.
I like to win.
But the person I complete against most is myself.

@LadyDuck Yes, that's how it is, there are people who like to be acknowledged, like to be admired. So, they compete for it. I think it's all temporary pseudo-happiness.
