competition and cooperation（竞争与合作）
when it comes to competition and cooperation, some people always emphasize competition but neglect cooperation.

their reasons run as following: to begin with, they believe only competition can help them defeat their counterparts; in addition, they think competition is the only way to lead to success.

but some others hold different opinion. they think cooperation is as important as competition. they base their opinion on the following reasons: on one hand, cooperation can build trust between each other and help to bring long-term relationship; on another hand, cooperation can turn a small and weak business into a big and strong one.

from what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that both competition and cooperation are essential to success and thus should be emphasized at the same time.
 

competition is fun

chairman mao once made a famous remark about competition, “to battle with god is great fun! to battle with earth is great fun! to battle with people is great fun!” his words, although seeming a bit too aggressive, have illustrated that competition is never regarded as something formidable by a brave.

competition exists throughout the evolution of nature and everyone’s life. creatures compete to survive the merciless environment, eliminating weaker ones; nations in the world compete for resources and power, and whichever fallen behind is beaten. as for individuals, ever since the very first day of our lives, we are forced into a competition with thousands of others around us, including taking examinations, applying jobs and striving for promotion, the results of which definitely determine our fate. competition is as real a fact as the air around us that can neither be evaded nor be ignored.

thus, my dear friends, do not fear competition. accept it and enjoy it. with competition, you grow stronger, and you gain so much precious experience worth remembering of, regardless of what the outcome would be. without competition, you cease to grow; you become a dead moth sealed in its own cocoon.

competition is a common phenomenon in our society . we compete when we play games, we try to do better than others in our study, and there is constant competition for jobs, fame, wealth and so forth. therefore,we can say that, in a certain sense, competition is one of the motive forces of the development of our modern society.

it is often believed, that competition and cooperation are in opposition to each other. some people stress competition, without which, in their eyes, there is no responsibility, no drive and ultimately, no progress. others advocate cooperation whatever they do. they are of the opinion that the dependence of people on one another has increased, without which the society we live in can not keep going smoothly. in reality, we find that in many cases competition goes hand in hand with cooperation. lets take a football game for example. during the game, one team is competing against the other, but each member of the team must cooperate with his teammates. otherwise, they would lose the game no matter how skillful each individual player might be. it is clear that competition has much to do with cooperation.共2页，当前第1页12
