Personally I feel that we achieve more when there is healthy competition anywhere in the world - be it in classrooms, offices or business dealings etc ...Students perform better when they feel the need to perform better than their friends or foes, the same is the case in business and at work spots. It may be for gains or for personal satisfaction. Either way Competition is healthy for human beings .. But there are different view points with some people saying that competition is not good afterall.. What do you think ?

Competition up to a healthy limit is productive and helps students and everyone generally perform better. But when it becomes an obsession and reaches the level where you cannot tolerate others doing better than you, it is unhealthy!

Competition is good provided that there is no jealousy and all play fair. It is competition that lets you know whether you are excellent, mediocre or laggard. There wil be no standard to measure performance in absence of competition. The reaization of one's position helps self improvement thereby leading to overall performance of all.

Competition has become a part of our life. From childhood onwards we were trained to compare with others and leap towards the top. In studies, sports, elections, everywhere we struggle hard to fight and win. It is good since it makes us confident and helps us to realize our power within. However, even a few drops of envy will make it poisonous and damage the true spirit of competition.

Some amount of competition is required or else everybody will operate with a lax attitude...work and performance will suffer, no competition implies no need to perform and this leads to less productivity be it in schools, workplace or business. It is good to have some amount of competition, this feeling makes us do better and get better. Lack of competition will lead us nowhere, however, a competition should be healthy and fair.

A healthy competition is always good in work. We can plan how to beat the performance of the other person and give good competition to him. If a person is a good learner he welcome the competition with the junior one.

Yes, competition if healthy should be taken in the right spirit.

Competition gives best results in sports. New records shall be created if there is tight competition.

There should always be competition in every field.  Witness what is happening to the cell phone industry and to the service providers.  Though there has been some increase in costs, the usage of the cell phones has increased only because of competition.  Yes, there are cartels, but some brave man will always be there to come up with some innovative product and reduce prices. 

We also have the example of LG, that forced the others to drop the prices of the television sets and other electronic goods. 

In schools, colleges and so on, we should encourage competition in every field.  Let there be no limit to competition.

It's only through competition, one can scale the peaks of excellence, provided the competition is healthy. In order to bring out the best in you competition is very much essential. In the absence of competition, complacency creeps inwhich leads to the downfall of an individual or an institution.

Lack of competetion is what led Air India to perform the way it did for several years...It is only in the past 15 years that there have been more airline companies but old habits die hard and AirIndia and IA goes on as before.....So competetion , I guess helps only those who want to do better in life not those who are complacent and drunk with power..
