Yesterday, the girls in the classes that i taught have their inter-class captain ball match. I went to see some of the rounds and indeed, i can see class spirit, the determination to win and the will to fight. However, competition such as this can have two kinds of effect. Firstly, it will strengthen the bonds between classmates and for them to learn how to cooperate between one another. On the other side, competition may brought forth effects such as isolation from fellow classmates just because he/she did not or was not able to persecute the things that they want to acheive as a class.
As for me as an individual, i love competition BUT it is always competiting against MYSELF. What do i mean by this? Well, it meant that i will try to ensure that i will win myself in everything that i do. For example, lets take into account an examination. If my history test i got an A2, i would want to win by getting an A1 the next time round. I guess this is what i would call a healthy competition. It becomes unhealthy when all you want to do is to win your friends and never admit defeat.
Sometimes, i wonder. Why do my friends want to compete so much be it in studies, financially etc.
