do you set to put yourself in a healthy competition with your friend to do well in your work and be really productive? what are the set backs having this kind of thought toward your friend?
another example would be programming your mind that you should be more active here in MyLot than the one who referred your from here. If he makes 50 posts per day then you will just have to beat that and you will make 70 good posts. so do you set yourself with a healthy competition or just do the way you want to work?
please share some thoughts guys, Thank you

Of course a healthy competition is good for everyone . It can make us work harder , and stimulate our passions . Thus I encourage us to join a healthy competition if we have the chance . Do you agree with me ?

Hello woodman. Yes I definitely agree with you. It is good that you uphold a healthy competition and you encourage people about it. It will always bring out the best of a person because you always strive to be the best among all of them. It would also really be fun unless you will be eaten by jealousy or envy from the other person who did better than you in a particular task. Thank you for the nice response.

Yes I agree with the eagerness and motivation is really building up when you compete with someone that is close to you. It will also bring out the best in you because you always strive to be on top of the other. Thank you for the nice response again.

In my opinion, competition is needed in our life but it's much better if we do healthy competition. Competition will result in high achievement. I always try to keep myself in competition line. When I was a student, I tried to be the best among of my classmate. When I was in college, I tried to be the best I could do. I always try to work the best I can in my office.
In case of mylot, I always try to reach my goal. I think my referred friends won't beat me in mylot. They are not active members. I am sure I make more post than them.

I think it's fun to study with your friends and compete in some way. I guess we can all do that when we get together just to study. I have a friend who I studied with alot but we never competed. As long as we got a passing grade we were happy. I think it's healthy, as long as you don't get upset or they do.

Every completions will be considered healthy if you have a good intentions, like I find it motivating to do all the chores without being commanded by my mother not because I will be recognized more as much as my sister does but because it gives me pride when I contributed something. I can I feel my worth if I made a certain initiative. Honestly when I was just a little girl I used to envy my sister. I considered everything as competitions. I had this feeling that my father is more attached w/ my sister because she always got the first placed and I was at the last. So I struggled a lot to get higher grades. I had to be good in everything I do. That's how I had tried to get attention, by being extraordinary. My insecurities developed because of my false intentions but my family has never affirm my worth. Now, I can proudly that I'm already flabbergasted.

I'd rather compete with friends than work with them on a project. Based on my experience especially in school its better to work with people you're not that close with so that you wont be too comfortable, i tend to be more productive that way.
Competition with friends keeps you motivated and drives you to do better and at the end of the day you still hang out together and talked about your accomplishments and be happy for each other.
