Competitiveness: the engine of progress

Competitiveness: face it or escape it?

In a world that often preaches equality and collaboration, competitiveness seems to have become a conceived concept with hypocrisy. We live in a society where the competition is often seen as something negative, but is this perception really based on a sincere belief? Or is it rather the fear of defeat that makes us shy away from competitive challenges?

Those who practice sport know well that getting into competition is an integral part of the game. An athlete does not complain because his opponent is trying to overcome him. On the contrary, he knows that to face and win that challenge, the keys to success are training and preparation. In sport, competition is an incentive to improve, to push one's limits and grow.

Competitiveness and professional world

So why do we tend to condemn the competition in everyday life and in the world of work? Perhaps because it is easier to criticize the competitive nature of the world rather than facing our fears and working to become better. Instead of strengthening oneself to live up to the challenges, many choose to see the competition as something unfair or wrong. Thus building a valid alibi to avoid every situation that could see them defeated.

The reality is that the world of work is also competitive. Ignore this fact means preparing to fail. Just as an athlete is preparing to win, we must prepare to face our professional future with solidity and determination.
