Use specific reasons and examples to support your response.
I disagree with the idea that it is necessary to be
competitive to succeed in life. Sometimes life offers no
alternative to competition, but there are better options
most of the time. Competing against someone else
usually requires too much energy Also, competition
often leads to somebody's feelings getting hurt. I think
cooperation is easier and nicer than competition.
First of all, I think that competing is usually a waste
of energy Competition is about feeling superior to
someone else, which usually involves spending more
energy than the other person. Some time ago, a friend
and I both bought a video game and started competing
to see who could earn the highest score. To get higher
scores, my friend and I spent increasing amounts of
time and energy playing the game. Eventually, I had no
energy left after playing and couldn't do anything else.
I decided it wasn't worth it and refocused my energy
on other activities.
I also dislike competition because at least one of
the competitors always loses. Losing usually makes
the loser feel sad or angry so I don't think situations
should be approached competitively. A dassmate
and I once found ourselves tied for the top rank of a
dass mid-semester. For the rest of the semester, we
competed to overtake each other's rankings, and in
the end she came in second. She felt as if her effort
had been wasted and was pretty sad.
Cooperating is a much better alternative to
competing. Everybody involved can spend less
energy to achieve the same results, and cooperative
behavior rarely leads to sadness or anger. One time,
a friend and! both wanted to participate in a writing
competition. Rather than act competitively, we
decided to cooperate with each other. We edited each
other's stories and helped each other write. When his
story did better than mine, I didn't feel bad, because I
had helped him write it.
While some people might think its necessary to be
competitive in order to succeed, I think that being
competitive is not a great option.
