Does anyone remember competition? In this day and age it seems as though the concept of winners and losers is a taboo subject. People teach their kids that they're all winners as long as everyone has fun. Great concept if it were true, but sadly it's not.
The essence of life thrives upon competition. Robbing these children of the thrill of a win or the agony of defeat is only sheltering them from the harsh reality that is the world.
I'd like to call for competition to be back in schools and most importantly back in life.
We shouldn't get an easy win to make us feel good. It's hard work and perseverance that are the finest expressions of the human spirit. Nor should we be demoralized because of a loss. Loss is the driving factor that gives us the strength and strong will to stand back up and try to win again.
The only way to know where we are in life is to measure our strengths and weaknesses against others'.
Embrace competition and strive to better yourself everyday.
