In this article we have featured Brilliant Quotes On Competition, we all know Competition is a universal language that can be used in a variety of contexts.
We compete for prizes, promotions, and parking spots. We compete to see who can eat the hottest dogs in 10 minutes, who is the fastest, who is the strongest, and who can eat the hottest dogs in 10 minutes.
While the scope and importance of each competition vary, one constant remains: competition is present everywhere.
Nonetheless, many of us are conflicted about competition. We may applaud the competitiveness of some (for example, certain popular athletes), criticize the competitiveness of others (for example, certain obnoxious colleagues), and deny that we are competitive at all (in order to suggest what nice people we are). But the truth is that we all compete to some degree.
Philosophers have debated whether competition brings out the best or the worst in us for centuries. Of course, the answer is both. However…in the spirit of seeing the glass as half full rather than half empty… I present to you this fantastic collection of competitive quotes.
