A Comment to “Do you like competition?”

The blog “Do you like competition?” is written by a financial planner, a young man, and a father who loves competition and strives in it. The blog, using personal stories, demonstrates the importance of competition and explains the writer’s personal take on the advantages of being involved in constant competition. I certainly agree with many of the writers’ views. Firstly, I agree that competition is detrimental in business; in the world of business we live in, whether one is a entrepreneur or just a regular white-collar worker, everything is about competition. However, it is not competitions with others that are important, but rather the competition with oneself. One must always out compete his or herself in order to succeed in a highly competitive environment of business. In addition, I also agree that in the competitive world we live, there is only business profit when there is competition. However, all aside, I disagree with the writer on one point; I do not think that competition with others is unimportant. Especially when someone is in a business competition, there are always winners and losers and if one doesn’t do as well as others, even though he or she might have improved and won against him/herselves, he/she is still a loser in the business world. One can always learn from competitions, but the ultimate goal is always to win.
