I share the views of Samira and appreciate what she
has reflcetd by her opinion.

There are certain things which are very basic in human
nature and competition is one of
them.Knowingly/unknowingly all of compete in our own
way.

Where ever theres a group - competition would always
be there...its the way we are...quite normal...


I feel that there is nothing wrong with it provided we
really understand the meaning of competetion.

So whats really required?

Theres only one life...we live only once...we have
been provided with certain gifts from Almighty ..gifts
are rational thinking,power to reason and
question,understand the things and then change them if
one really feels so about them and is capable of doing
it,will power,the capacity to toil,abilty to dream and
capabilty to make them come true though our
attributes,et al.

So in this only one life its the duty of an individual
to reach to the acme of his or her potential....to
test his or limitations..to see how far can one
go...and then to further the boundaries....then even
further...I believe that theres no limit to what one
can achieve..human brain coupled with  will can give
rise to another world...can redraw the limits...and
really can do anything and everything...

History shows it...

Competition is must..it should be there..

Otherwise how would I know that what as a man I could
accomplish?what are my limitations?How far really can
i go?

God has given me everything and its my duty do justice
with it..to live as a man should...

so one has stretch oneself...if tired - try even
harder and break all what comes in the way...

I believe everyone is capable of doing that provided
one can sense the unearthed potential lying inside..

I believe that its the duty of every single individual
to live at his or her fullest potential..then only we
would be doing justice with God's gift,with ourselves
and would be able to contribute towards the welfare of
mankind.

I beileve that if we are not living at our fullest
potential - its a sin...and we are doing the biggest
injustice with ourselves...

Any sort of list would provoke something which
probably most of us wont like...but its unfair...

If someone is good at something,he deserves to be told
about it...

Its a different matter this kind of listing would
deter someone to express himself...that would be
unfortunate...

It shouldn't happen this way...

Its very simple to take it..just give anyone his/her
dues...accept the facts..if he or she is the
best...agree with it...its the truth and it wont be
hard to take it if one understands that its the
truth...

Now there would be prefernces...

this sort of listing would fuel someone's desire to
become better at this skill...I feel that there would
be a lot of people like that...

And if the desires gets fuelled - one of the
unconscious motives of the listing would come
true...it has geared someone towards his or her
betterment even if its something like expressing
oneself in a language...here the change starts....and
few would think of even surpassing the people on the
list at this art..nothing beats it....really...this is
the way to seek development and contribute towards
society in a very subtle and yet definite manner....

Then there would be people who are happy with their
degree of skill at this art and for them prefernces
could be different..for them the art of expressing
oneself doesn't mean much and they have got other
passions and dreams to which they put on a higher
level than writing skill...they are right...and are
mature too...

There could be some people who would take it in a
negative manner and would think that probably its not
their cup of tea...the listing might breed lack of
self confidence and they would feel inadequate about
themselves...but its uncalled for..really...accept the
truth-about others about yourself..and then change
it..through determination and your hidden
capabilities...REWRITE THE TRUTH AGAIN..its
possible..very much possible..    

there could be people who would just fume over this
kind of listing..it would bruise their egos (though
they hardly understand the real meaning of the
word),hurt them but they would do nothing to improve
upon this....they are the most unfortunate ones...

Its hardly a solution that one should say that dont
put me on that kind of list..true that motive of being
on the list very different...but accept it...theres
nothing wrong with it...

Take yourself to such a height where it doesn't matter
to you that you have been put on the list...that would
be acknowledging the competition in true sense....just
say it in a neutral manner ...i think i can do better
than that person..say it loudly to yourself and to
others..without ever feeling the vibes of what it can
generate...that is shallow pride,show off,trying to
get acknowledged by others,etc...say it for the sake
of your true worth..say it plainly and innocently and
meaning every single letter of it...without being
conscious of anything else other than your
potential..rest doesn't matter....that would be
competing in a true sense and would be a big step
towards self development....and it happens that people
do understand that in what sense you have told that "
i can do better than that person"..they would know
whom your talking to -to them or to your potential
only...and if you are able  to say it to your
potential only- you have taken possibly the greatest
leap towards your development and development of the
world...you would defintely feel that day that you
have started living as a man...no gainsaying this...

One should compete even when one is alone..compete
with self..
