These days, we rarely see someone helping their rival.
What if you are in such a situation??
Would you help your biggest competitor when they need your help?? Even when it meant to give up on your chances of winning??
In all walks of life, we do have some aspirations and a well planned approach towards our goal. Often we see that people with same targets are tagged as competitors. How far is that right?
We seldom acknowledge the fact that even when our destination is same, our definition of success is not always similar. If I succeed, it does not imply that you ended up failing. Having a notion that they are interrelated is not a sensible act.
Parallely, I think competitive spirit is necessary. It does improve our quality of work. A healthy competition and constructive criticism are always welcome. But sometimes when it becomes polluted with ego and selfishness, it turns ugly. Especially if one tries to reach any extent to satisfy this ego.
According to me, happiness multiplies when you have more people to share with. That can even be applied to success. When you are in it together, an impossible task seems to be achievable.
True!! There is nothing else more satisfying than helping others when they need it the most.
You have rightly said! I hardly get jealous but people step back with every smile they see on my Face!

Fairy!! That should never let you down..
Jealousy sometimes comes with people’s success.. People who stepped back when you were successful, never deserved to stay with you!!
The best reply you could give them is by moving forward.. ☺

of course, I think there in helping the competitor lies the spirit of the competition itself. And as you rightly said, happiness lies in sharing it..:)

Correctly said…getting jealous means being ignorant of our own potential and capabilities..everyone has something special..compete only with yourself and look at others just to get inspired..

Helping friends comes more easily to children……as they grow up somehow that quality seems to get buried, with so many external influences.
Competing with a healthy attitude is the key to success and happiness 🙂
