This is just one aspect-Education...in fact I think it makes you work harder.

I do not hate competition. BUT I always try to stay out of the 'herd'. For example, if everybody in the class is trying to be the first by studying hard, a student should look for other approach to be first. For example, a balanced study plan.

So, competition can be useful. But very often, to win, you should try approaches different from the herd.

So, competition is bad. But creativity is good. I love creativity and try to stay out of the herd's approach as much as possible.

Tbh, I work harder when there is competition. It is sometimes my source of motivation.

Disadvantages for it though : might lead to jealousy or hate.

From my own experience :

1. it creates some type of rivalry or jealousy

2. but at the same time it motivates that person to do better than they did prior .

but if ur gonna get out of that world of mine ...in like politics or business :

1. it leads to companies to deceive consumers to buy their products .

2.However , it in some cases leads these comanies to make much better quality products ;)

that's an opinion of mine :)

Competition may be good. But for me, I would always like to play a different approach than the 'herd' to get what I want, however difficult the competition may seem. :)

Like HH's said- I don't care who's doing what, so I dont care about competition or about anyone else other than my own matters. I'll do everything and give it my best shot, and that's all i can ever do! I know i am different, so whatever i'll do will be different. so ultimately it will result into something that'll satisfy me :)

But you should still be receptive of better ideas from 'competitors'.

Its like, I will not fight, but duck and weave and take advantage of 'them' whenever I can. ;) ;D

well...i believe in myself...and i won't work on sth unless i have interest in it. i have interest, i'll give my best. ofc i'll be receptive, and well-if i do realize someone else's work's much better, i'll appreciate and learn from it...like see what are the things that make it the best!

If not for competition, I would never be who I am.

Competition is good. Everywhere it is. We make it bad.
