Good And Bad effects In Modern Life

In school we compete for better grades. In sports and games we try our best to beat the other competitor. The commercial world is an ongoing race for more profits. Countries try to subjugate other countries by means of force. As a whole, the human race has engaged itself in a mighty round of competition. No one is spared. The winner reaps his gains, the loser withdraws to compete another day.
Competition is very much a part of modern life. In every sphere of human activity there is some form of competition going on, be it to a larger or smaller degree. Some of us cope well. There are some who fall by the side. Yet There are some who shun competition, preferring not to get involved.
For those who cope well, competition allways them to develop and realise their abilities. Record-breaking feats by athletes make us realise taht human being are capable of wondrous performances.The four minute mile was an impossibility a few decades ago. Now, any world class miler can break four minutes with ease.
Some competitors can lose garcefully. However a good number are sore-losers. They resort to all sorts of excuses and blames for their poor performances. Many athletes have taken steroids and othe drugs to build up their bodies. The bad effects of these drugs will only manifest later, but yet these people are willing to take such risks just to win.
Competitiveness has spilled over to our everyday life. Nobody actually knows why we study so hard to get better grades. We only know that we have got to have good grades in order for further our education.Why do we have to further our education? The common answer is that so that we can get a good job and so on and so forth.
As long as we compete, we will have to put up with the bad effects as well as enjoy the good effects. We will have to suffer increased unemployment while we produced more cars and motorcycle. We will see more broken limbs as we see more goals...
