Do you agree or disagree with the followingstatement? Sports teach people lessons about life

Sport is an eternal topic in today's world,swinging between competition and corporation. When it comes to the universalyet debatable question that whether sports teach people lessons about life,public's opinions split on this issue. Some uphold the assertion that sportshave nothing related to lessons about life but power and energy, while othersstrongly oppose that idea. As for me I commit to the notion that it is sportsthat lead to the acquirement of knowledge from life rather than some dogmatic lessons.

The point of pinnacle for my preference isthat competition that taught by sports directly results in our modern society,which calls for reform never stop. The winner of the sports games throughfierce competition told us the nature selection of Darwin's revolutionary theory, which goes"The fittest survives". As for the business realm, withoutcompetition, Microsoft, Google and Apple would never get motivation to developon their own respectively. Moreover, the negative consequences would lead tomonopoly, which is forbidden by the government. As for the political area,without participating in the presidential campaign, Rooseveltwould have no opportunity to execute the New Deal with aim to eliminate thedepression and grief of World War. Therefore, The driven force that motivatedthe pivotal figures to change the world is individual commitment and thesociety filled with competition. Only by competition that learned from sportscan instill individuals' potential and initiative to achieve success eventually.

Another contributing factor why I advocatethe notion is that apart from competition, sports have othercharacteristics--cooperation, which plays a crucial role in establishingharmonious community. For supporting evidence, one should look no further thansoccer. Once one of eleven players got hurt or distracted, this team willprobably seem like underdogs. Unlike competition, cooperation put heavy emphasison the performance of the team, not individual. It requires team members togive the top priority to the interests of the group. A survey conducted bySocial work of the Washington University in St. Louis last month reflectedthat, over 80 percent of employees in Google enjoyed the cooperation in their workenvironment.65 percent acknowledged that overemphasis on individual woulddeteriorate the harmonious atmosphere and freedom style. Like soccer team, itone employee in Google had made mistakes, the whole company will take theaccountability for it; whereas when profits came, everyone got reward as well.Thus, the significance of cooperation cannot be exaggerated.

However, we have to admit that it isdifficult for people to balance driven force of competition and coopertion thatsports teach. Both of them, like double-edge swords, may contributed to the notonly the personal success but also the prosperity of society, otherwise, itmight backfires. Generally speaking, with all thesedimensions mentioned above incorporated, we may safely arrive at the pointwhere the path of success hinges on the lessons we learned from daily life-thatis the balance of competition and cooperation, which originated from sports.
