the essence of competition

         When we enter to competition, we should be open to many experiences we can learn from it. The real essence of competition is not to beat the other person, but to bring out the best in each other. For winning is not the only thing in the game. On the other hand, losing allows us to become a better and stronger person.
         In a world where people set expectations as we compete, we need a great deal of patience and perseverance to withstand the pressures and face the challenges of the competition. Patience and perseverance to compete and finish the race.
        For when the competition is over, it is not the question of who won  or who lost. But more importantly, how much of your goals have been achieved that matters most. Compete therefore, not for the prize you will receive, but for the opportunity to bring out the best not only in others but most importantly the best in you.
