Unnecessary And Unhealthy Competition by Tbeiz: 10:27am On Sep 09, 2014 |
I would like to begin by saying: 'If there's anyone you should compete with, it should be yourself'. Back to the topic. I've noticed so many things over the course of the years , and it's the fact that life seems to be a competition. There's always this struggle for who's better and who's comes first. I see it in families, amongst peers, schoolmates, even husband and wife(haba!). On Nairaland here, people seem so excited when their posts/topics hit front page(sometimes seeing it as one explosive achievement). I congratulate you however. This is just an inherent competitive nature. Oya post your comment naa, you see things like 'first to comment', 'sapce booked' e.t.c. I still congratulate however. Seun has a prize for y'all. I'm not here to bash anybody or talk down anybody, all I'm saying is make a mental note of why you do the things you do. My first ever topic here hit the front page and I didn't flinch, well maybe a little surprised. I only wanted to educate people. This competitive nature does more harm than good(if healthy, I recommend, and that's why we have Champions league, World Cup, and other sports). So in summary,see some results of unhealthy and unnecessary competition below: In families - sibling rivalry, divorce ultimately between parents, envy (especially in polygamous homes) At work place- backstabbing , politics of the highest order, falsifying documents ,evil schemes e.t.c In the church/ religious institution (this one is unbelievable- eleyi gidi gan) - pastors/leaders losing focus , misuse/abuse of authority ,e.t.c At school- making enemies where you could have made friends for life, joining cults , wrong association, envy In your neighbourhood- you know how this one pans out. BEEF!!! Hope you get the drift of this write-up. So I end with 'Be the best you can be , not because someone set a limit, but because you know you are powerful beyond measure'. I have a song this too .... "Ki lan baka " by T-beiz - http://www.reverbnation.com/tbeiz/song/21698900-ki-lan-baka and "Kilanbaka remix ft Wallz" : http://www.reverbnation.com/tbeiz/song/21697474-kilanbaka_remix_ft_wallz And I'm out. Peace |
