Children are the tender buds of the society & they are required to be taught true values of life & being competitive is one of them. Some people believe that children should be taught to become more cooperative. However, in my opinion feeling of competition must be inculcated in children.

To begin with, there are many reasons why children should be having competitional values? There is a saying that “We live in a competitive world”. Firstly, healthy competition often brings out the best performance in any event in life . For instance, if a person wants to get into the top educational institution of the country like India, that person needs to compete with millions & that feeling to become the best in the country often brings out the best performance. Secondly, competitive mindset makes the people self dependent & brings out innovative skillset for survival.

Furthermore, there are many other advantages of being competitive. Competition enhances the tendency of hardworking & becoming self-reliant. Immense competition often leads to breakthrough innovations in the field of science & engineering. For example, there is a well known story of the two scientists(Hall & Heroult) working on the project of “Production of aluminium using electrolysis & it was eventually found that the both of them were able to complete the project before stipulated timeline & this project was the “Innovation of the 19^th century” as a result of healthy competitive spirit between the two scientists. Moreover, competition is the need of the hour.

In conclusion, competition increases the probability of success in life. Therefore, children should be encouraged to compete with each other at an early stage of life, as it will help them to become stronger & better human beings.
