Part 3
Is it good to have competition?
I think competition is healthy to an extent. But, I think the number one person we should compete with is always ourselves. Being better than we previously were is the number one priority, in my opinion. However, team and individual competitions are also a healthy and necessary way to motivate people to try their hardest and gain a sense of teamwork and sportsmanship (respect to the other team whether you win or lose). By the same taken, failure is also a great lesson to help us to be better in the future. We all need failure just as much as we need success!
