Hmm... i think it is ok if we like compete with others, but i guess wat i feel wary abt is tat after awhile, you forgot why the heck you are doing all these for. Won't go so far as to say that "the strong do what they should, the weak suffer what they must"... but competition brings about improvements and for tat, i feel it is necessary for mankind to survive. we are who we are now coz of many generations of competition. not just darwin's theory lah, but you can also think of it as technology's improving. companies try to outdo one another to bring new cutting edge tech to this world n such. so cannot say tat competition is unnecessary... but rather, we need to be aware and constantly remind ourself if the kind of competition we are involving ourselves in is necessary. I think tat is pretty straight fwd and pretty sure alot of ppl would agree with me on tat. but danger is, you often get so caught up that you are blinded by it all and have no idea what you are doing.


So i think it is important to look at other ppl. we all need a mirror for ourselves. we look at people all the time and often forgot to look at ourselves. i dunnoe... sometimes i see ppl doing some crazy shit, or crap situation, i get pretty alarm... and i wonder if i am just as screw up as tat. so i guess like wat the chinese saying goes mah "stone from another mountain can be used to carve our jade"... learn from ppl's mistake lor... dun just admire ppl's front, their achievements. think about what they did to get there. sold their soul to the devil? or worked their ass off? easy to see the fancy side like ppl say, but i guess for informed intellectuals (AHEM!!!) we probably need to go beyond tat...
