Which does competition bring out more in people, the good or bad?
By Mr. Cuthrell
I guess I would say that would truly depend on the type of person involved in the competition. This is really a case of what type of character the person has that is involved in the competition. I have seen people involved in competitions that rise to a higher level of achievement because of the competitive spirit. However, there are people out there who are so competitive that they adopt a policy of win by all means necessary. I believe that competition is a healthy way of getting oneself ready for the real world. The only problem with competition in this modern day is that too many people are worried about how losing competitions affects the psyche of young people. The simple fact is that in competition there are winners and those who do not win. Some people take the route of trying to avoid competition because of the outcomes that might occur. Everything one does in life is in some form related to competition- the question is, are you the type of person that will win at the cost of your integrity?
