Is Competition healthy ...pros and cons

Personally I feel that we achieve more when there is healthy competition anywhere in the world - be it in classrooms, offices or business dealings etc ...Students perform better when they feel the need to perform better than their friends or foes, the same is the case in business and at work spots. It may be for gains or for personal satisfaction. Either way Competition is healthy for human beings .. But there are different view points with some people saying that competition is not good afterall.. What do you think ?

Some amount of competition is required or else everybody will operate with a lax attitude...work and performance will suffer, no competition implies no need to perform and this leads to less productivity be it in schools, workplace or business. It is good to have some amount of competition, this feeling makes us do better and get better. Lack of competition will lead us nowhere, however, a competition should be healthy and fair.

A healthy competition is always good in work. We can plan how to beat the performance of the other person and give good competition to him. If a person is a good learner he welcome the competition with the junior one.

Yes, competition if healthy should be taken in the right spirit.

There should always be competition in every field.  Witness what is happening to the cell phone industry and to the service providers.  Though there has been some increase in costs, the usage of the cell phones has increased only because of competition.  Yes, there are cartels, but some brave man will always be there to come up with some innovative product and reduce prices. 

We also have the example of LG, that forced the others to drop the prices of the television sets and other electronic goods. 

In schools, colleges and so on, we should encourage competition in every field.  Let there be no limit to competition.

It's only through competition, one can scale the peaks of excellence, provided the competition is healthy. In order to bring out the best in you competition is very much essential. In the absence of competition, complacency creeps inwhich leads to the downfall of an individual or an institution.

Lack of competetion is what led Air India to perform the way it did for several years...It is only in the past 15 years that there have been more airline companies but old habits die hard and AirIndia and IA goes on as before.....So competetion , I guess helps only those who want to do better in life not those who are complacent and drunk with power..

I have seen even in Sports ,those who were in top place were ruined because of complacency.

Yes, competition is helpful and much needed in every walk of life and for everything, but competition should be healthy and should be fair any room for foul play mars the spirit of any kind of competition.

Competition helps unearth the best in any individual or an institution .

Absolutely, competition always brings out the best and offers more variety in every field, flights, retail shops and so on.

It's only due to competition, new ways and new inventions are possible. In the absence of competition , humans would have been still in the Cave age.

True..no competition leaves everyone towards complacency and mediocrity but competition bring out the best and improves the standards in every walk of life.

Necessity is the mother of invention .then a chan follows. One invents. Another invents another which has an edge over the previous invention. And this goes on. This is possible only due to competitive spirit.
