■Every day of life is spent in victory or defeat, and everything appears in the form of competition. Every day is a struggle to win the competition, or at least not lose to the other side.

■Like every other animal, the reason why humans have been able to progress to such a high level is undoubtedly the struggle for survival caused by rapid proliferation. And completed; if human beings want to progress to higher places, I am afraid that they must continue to fight fiercely. Otherwise mankind will sink into laziness, and those with higher talents will have no greater success in the struggles of life than those with less talents. Therefore, although the natural rate of human increase can cause many obvious evils, there is no way to greatly reduce it. All men should take part in open competition; no law or custom should prevent the most talented from achieving the greatest success and raising the greatest number of offspring. [UK] Darwin: "The Descent of Man and Sexual Selection"

■The development of economy and technology has greatly strengthened the competition for survival and seriously damaged the free development of individuals. However, the development of technology means that individuals must perform less and less labor to meet social needs, and planned division of labor has become an increasingly urgent need, and this division of labor will ensure individual material life. This security coupled with the free time and energy at the individual's disposal can be used to develop his personality. In this way society can be restored and healthy, and we can hope that future historians will explain the current symptoms of social ill health as infantile diseases of ambitious humanity, caused solely by the too rapid advancement of civilization. [Germany] Albert Einstein: "My World View"

The competitive spirit of wanting to be better than those who are better than oneself, not wanting to be bettered by people at the same level, and not wanting to lose to people who are lower than oneself are all closely related to jealousy. [Japan] Takeshi Takeshi: "The Psychology of Jealousy"
■Being competitive is nothing more than the desire we have for something. The reason is that we imagine other people like us, and also Have the same desires. [Netherlands] Spinoza: "Ethics"
