Competitive spirit is something that I don't have , not interested in & don't wish to have,but it's a good thing too.In my point of view, this thing is a friend for those who always want to win,shine and to be perfect.Though I don't like it, this thing can really help us at some situations..For an example a sportsman/sportswoman need a competitive spirit to do it right and win,and if we take a person who works at an office he/she need it to get promotions and climb to the top, very fast.So in times like that this thing can be really helpful.It doesn't let you just give up,it holds you until you reach your goal.It never tells you to be the 2nd,just want to push you to the no.1 spot.So it can be a good friend for those who wants to the best at what they do.
Competitive spirit can pull out your hidden talents,your real strength,your dedication which were hidden in you.So it can bring out a totally new-you.So as this thing is capable of changing you, it can be good as well as bad.... and that's something that you never asks but just possesses you when you least expected it.
competitive spirit can offer you some bad things if you hug it too much.For an example you can't bear to watch another person celebrate the victory ,where all you can do is do nothing and watch,or you cant stand when someone else is out-smarting,out-staging you where you should be the star/celebrity.That's getting too competitive.Too much of it can make many bad reactions in you like jealousy,rage,and even violence.Your conscious starts to blame you and tell you about how the other person surpassed you.When this happen the trigger is off and you are going to make sure the other person would pay for it.You just can't let it go.
As you all know at the FIFA 2006 final, french football player Zidane blew out and headbutt Materazzi,not to mention Tyson's ear bite.In many games such as Ice Hockey,wrestling there's always a brawl in the end.So we can see how respective people become savage beasts ,just because they can't watch their opposition taking the victory.
So now we can see that we should encourage the competitive spirit for a certain extent and not too much,because too much of anything is bad.We can gain the advantages by using it wisely.So we should take it up to there,where we aren't totally into it,but just use it when it's needed.From this, we can easily be ourselves and do everything with a good and peaceful attitude.
