Competition and coorperation As society develops, people pay more attentions on children than before, especially on their education. Competition versus coorperation: it has been a conundrum man can hardly get rid of. I think both competition and coorperation are very important . First of all, the idea that children should have a sense of competition is reasonable. In the 21st century, the cruel selection from companies, factories and other institutes, personal competitive advantage becomes very important. While someone is in an interview, sitting and waiting alone will lead you to be ignored. Only a sense of competition to show yourself positively and own strong personal ability would help you to outstanding. On the other hand, competition brings creativity which always leads to success and development. No stress no motivations. Competition is important in modern life and helps us to live better. Compared with competition, co-operation has its merits too. Firstly, it improves our work efficiency. Just like football, the well co-operated team can always win. In the second place, co-operation could prevent wasting energy and time. Many times, some people are doing the same research on one thing without sharing their efforts. Working alone might be also a long and tough process. However, if we could co-operate and divide the work into different units, time could be saved and further discoveries can be found. Last but not least, team spirit always brings happy and comfortable moods. Co- operation is the light of peace and makes people feels warm. In a word, both competition and co-operation are useful characters in one’s life. From my perspective, competition devoid of cooperation is inept ; competition without cooperation is blind and hazardous. So they are both very important for us to instill in our children.
