Competition and Cooperation
It is generally received that the importance of competition and cooperation cannot be overemphasized too much. Competition is common in every field of life while it stimulates peoples interest in work and helps society to go forward. As competition goes hand in hand with cooperation, cooperation not only lets us get help and understanding, but also makes the world being progress at peace and in harmony. I am convinced that both competition and cooperation are significant and we are supposed to combine them well. There are three justifications to support my argument.
First of all, competition plays an important role in our life. Darwin came up with the natural selection and competition is universal. "Whether the competition for jobs or for promotion, the competition encourages us to go forward and try our best to build a more advanced society. Furthermore, cooperation is an inseparable part of the livelihood. No one can exist alone in the society. Only by the way that we have teamwork with other can we achieve the greater success. Last but not least, we should combine competition and cooperation. There is no doubt that neither competition or cooperation can separate each other. Some examples can make this point clearer. Take the basketball match for example for example. The members of the team cooperate with their teammates to shoot at the basket while them compete with the other team. After considering the matches, we can take the history of mankind into consideration; the history of mankind is a history of coexistence of competition and cooperation.
From what has been mentioned above, we can draw the conclusion that both competition and cooperation are of great importance, and it is wise for us to combine them. As college students, we ought to arouse our awareness of competition and cooperation.
Competition is common in every field of life. For example, the Olympic Games is the most famous competition in the world. In the four hundred meter swimming race, the swimmers plunge into the water at the signal. Each swings his or her arms and legs and tries his or her best to be the first. Also there is the competition for jobs, for promotion, for customers, and so on. We can say, in a certain sense, competition stimulates peoples interest in work and helps society to go forword.
We often find that competition goes hand in trend with cooperation. Take, for example, a volley ball match. The members of the team cooperate with each other. One serves the ball, Then another passes the ball to a certain height for a still other to hit it over the net while the other members try to block it on its return. It requires good tearn work to win the game.
While we advocate competition, we cannot forget cooperation. Human beings are social beings. No one can exist alone in the society. If you want to play the game well, you have to play with others. You cannot play single-handed and win. You have to cooperate with your playmates, who may make the social ladder for you to climb to the top. From cooperation we get mutual help and understanding. With cooperation the world is progressing at peace and in harmony.
Cooperation and competition are both important. They are attributes（归因于，属性） which are equally necessary for a person to achieve success in his life.
Learn to be cooperative. No one likes a selfish, greedy, or arrogant（自大的） individual. However, everyone likes a considerate（体谅的） and cooperative person. Everything we do today, whether in doing business or making friends, depend upon our ability to get along with one another. In our society, most tasks demand the cooperation of many individuals so that they can be accomplished effectively. In this situation, we must be supportive（支援的） and cooperative. Each person is like a small part of a machine. If only one part is out of order, the machine can’t be running well. Besides, transportation and communication systems are rapidly developing and people all over the world can get in touch with each other more easily. It is hard for a person who is isolated（孤立的） from the society to have a deep understanding of the world he lives and to accomplish（实现） a feat（功绩） in his career. Cooperation is becoming more and more important for a person to earn a good life.
Being competitive also has a place in life. If you want to achieve more success and be better than others, you must work harder, study more diligently（勤奋地）， and adapt yourself to competition. The desire to succeed and do better than others inspires（激励） us to work harder. If there were no competition, a sports meet would never be exciting and successful, and we would never have champions（冠军的地位）。
No doubt, we often find there is an inseparable（不可分离的） relationship between competition and cooperation. In a football match, either team is competing with other. But each member of the team is cooperating with his teammates.
We cooperate with others to be more competitive; we compete to earn a better environment for cooperation. Thus we can make progress（前进） continuously. Only competition together with cooperation leads us to realizze our goals and satisfy our needs.
合作和竞争都很重要。他们的属性（归因于，属性）这对于一个人生活中取得成功。
学会合作。没有人喜欢自私，贪婪，傲慢（自大的）个人。然而，每个人都喜欢一个体贴的（体谅的）合作的人。我们今天所做的一切，无论是做生意还是交朋友，都取决于我们与他人相处的能力。在我们的社会中，大多数的任务需要许多人的合作，使他们能够有效地完成任务。在这种情况下，我们必须支持（支援的）合作。每个人都像一台机器的小部分。如果只有一个零件是无法运行的，机器就不能正常运行。此外，交通和通信系统正在迅速发展，世界各地的人们可以更容易地接触到彼此。一个人是孤立的很（孤立的）从社会有很深的了解他生活和世界（实现）完成的壮举（功绩）在他的职业生涯。合作变得越来越重要，为一个人赚一个好的生活。
竞争也在生活中有一席之地。如果你想取得更大的成功，要比别人更好，你必须更努力，更勤奋的学习（勤奋地），和适应竞争。对成功的渴望，比别人做的更好（激励）激励我们更努力的。工作。如果没有竞争，运动会不会有令人兴奋的成功，我们也不会有冠军（冠军的地位）。
毫无疑问，我们经常发现有一个不可分割的（不可分离的）竞争与合作的关系。在一场足球比赛中，任何一支球队都在与其他球队竞争。但是团队中的每一个成员都与队友合作。
我们与其他人合作，以更具竞争性；我们竞争以获得更好的合作环境。因此，我们可以不断进步（前进）。只有竞争，合作，使我们实现我们的目标，满足我们的需求。
Chairman Mao once made a famous remark about competition, “To battle with God is great fun! To battle with Earth is great fun! To battle with people is great fun!” His words, although seeming a bit too aggressive, have illustrated that competition is never regarded as something formidable by a brave.
Competition exists throughout the evolution of nature and everyone’s life. Creatures compete to survive the merciless environment, eliminating weaker ones; Nations in the world compete for resources and power, and whichever fallen behind is beaten. As for individuals, ever since the very first day of our lives, we are forced into a competition with thousands of others around us, including taking examinations, applying jobs and striving for promotion, the results of which definitely determine our fate. Competition is as real a fact as the air around us that can neither be evaded nor be ignored.
Thus, my dear friends, do not fear competition. Accept it and enjoy it. With competition, you grow stronger, and you gain so much precious experience worth remembering of, regardless of what the outcome would be. Without competition, you cease to grow; you become a dead moth sealed in its own cocoon.
In nowadays, it is quite common that we compete with each other for various competitions. However, it is also essential for people to cooperate with each other for we are members of society. When confront with cooperation and competition, people seems to have a difficult time in choosing them. Some people tend to compete with each other for they believe they can win rewards by defeating others. Some hold that we should cooperate with each other. Some think that we should not only cooperate with others but we should compete with others as well. In my opinion, I think that competing is more important for us. Reasons are listed below.
First of all, competing is more important than cooperation in our society. In school, we compete with others by doing better in our study. When we are looking for jobs, we compete with others applying for the same position. When we go to a competition, we fight with others for rewards or fame.
Secondly, we can be stronger by competing. If we want to win others, then we have to be stronger than others. Thus, we have to improve ourselves constantly. Consequently, our skills will be enhanced and we will get more experience to avoid failure.
In conclusion, competition plays an important role in our society as well as we can become stronger.
Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life. We compete when we play games, we try to do better than others in our study, and there is constant competition for jobs, fame, wealth and so forth. We can say that, in a certain sense, competition is one of the motive forces of the development of the society.
We often find competition and cooperation at the same time. Think of a football game. During the game, one team is competing against the other, but each member of the team must cooperate with his teammates. Otherwise, they would lose the game however skilled every individual player might be.
While advocating competition, we must not forget cooperation. In modern society, cooperation is especially necessary because except for a few craftsmen and artists, most work is fulfilled with and through other people. In many cases, we can not achieve anything if there are only competition and no cooperation.
When it comes to competition and cooperation, some people always emphasize competition but neglect cooperation.
Their reasons run as following: to begin with, they believe only competition can help them defeat their counterparts; in addition, they think competition is the only way to lead to success.
But some others hold different opinion. They think cooperation is as important as competition. They base their opinion on the following reasons: on one hand, cooperation can build trust between each other and help to bring long-term relationship; on another hand, cooperation can turn a small and weak business into a big and strong one.
From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that both competition and cooperation are essential to success and thus should be emphasized at the same time.
