Competition means no benefit to anyone, no meaningful discrimination, and a struggle for survival. Then why do people consider competition good? The answer is that competition is not just an economic concept on the basis of which individuals and companies deal in the market place. More than anything else, competition is an ideology—an ideology that pervades our society and distorts our thinking. We promote competition, intrinsically value it, and enforce its rules; And as a result, the more we get caught up in it - the more we compete, the less we make.
It's a simple truth, but we've all been trained to ignore it. Our educational system drives our passion for competition and reflects it in us. The grades themselves are designed to measure the competitiveness of each student on a precise scale. Students who score higher marks get higher positions and certificates. We teach the same subjects in the same way to each youth, regardless of individual talents and preferences. Students who don't learn well sitting at a desk are made to feel inferior, while those who excel in traditional methods like exams and assignments carve out their identity in a system that works against this strange natural analogy.
And it gets worse when students reach higher levels of it. As long as the upper class students compete hard to achieve their dreams and move forward with confidence. Today, students are completely caught in the whirlpool of competition for traditional careers like management and banking in higher schools. And for this very expensive tuition is also kept. Why are we doing this to ourselves? Let's understand further -
Competition
Professors try to reduce the academic barricade culture, but managers see war and business as equals. MBA students copy Clausewitz and Sun Tzu. Battle-like terms are used in our everyday business language like we use the term headhunter to build a sales force that enables us to hunt and take captive markets. But really it's competition, not business, it's like war: supposedly brave but ultimately destructive.
Why do people compete with each other? Marx and Shakespeare offer two models for understanding almost every type of conflict.
According to Marx, people fight because they are different from each other. The weak fight with the rich because they have completely different ideas and goals in different material circumstances. The greater the differences, the greater the conflict.
In contrast, to Shakespeare, all combatants appear more or less alike. It is not at all clear why they should fight, since they have nothing to fight for. Consider the opening line of Romeo and Juliet: "Two houses, both equal in dignity." Both houses are alike, yet they hate each other. Eventually, they forget why they started fighting.
In the business world, at least, Shakespeare has proven to be a better guide. Inside the company, people are always striving to get ahead of their co-workers and the company over its competitors in the market competition. In the world, people forget what they mean and what is right for them. Instead, they simply focus only on their rivals.
As with all good tragedy, the conflict seems at first only seemingly inevitable. In fact it was completely avoidable. Both these families came from different places. Montague House developed the operating system and Office software. The House of Capulet created a search engine. What was there for them to fight with each other?
This war cost the Montagues and the Capulets the dominance of Microsoft and Google: meanwhile Apple came along and toppled them all. In January 2013, Apple had a market capitalization of $500 billion, while the combined market capitalization of both Google and Microsoft was $467 billion. Just three years earlier, Microsoft and Google were larger firms than Apple. War means competition is an expensive business.
Many. As startups, each company wanted to prosper independently. But as soon as they started growing up, they started focusing on each other. result? Windows vs Chrome OS, Bing vs Google Search, Explorer vs Chrome, Office vs Docs, and Surface vs Nexus.
Due to this competition, the fleet of many people and business has become tough. If he concentrates more on the goal of his life, then probably he will get better results.
