TOPIC:ISSUE 46 - "While some leaders in government, sports, industry, and other areas attribute their success to a well-developed sense of competition, a society can better prepare its young people for leadership by instilling in them a sense of cooperation."
WORDS:596 TIME:上午 01:03:25 DATE:2005-9-3
What sense should be instilled into the leaders in government, sports, industry and other areas, the sense of competition, cooperation, or the combination of the two senses? Facing this complex issue, basically I am not inclined to diminish the significance of competition alone or cooperation alone, however, I am strongly for the point that the approximate combination of the two senses, in which cooperation might affect a little more than competition, would endow the leaders the most efficient abilities to deal with countless affairs.
On one hand, the sense of competition, by evoking people's desire of gaining success, is able to compel common people to the right tract of success, let alone the talented leaders. Taking a certain commercial competition for example, the leaders of the two chief CPU producing companies in the world-Intel and AMD- put close eyes on the competition between themselves and their opponents, and accordingly modify the commercial and technological strategies. Even the main purpose of the commercial competition is to beat the opponent and obtain the overwhelming percentage of occupancy, but on the contrary the result of the competition is bring prosperity to the both companies and most importantly advance the development of computer technology. Therefore, competitions endow people with the enthusiasm to keep the leading position and correspondingly enhance the ability of the leaders and their group.
On the other hand, the sense of cooperation provides a platform for group-success, as the partners exchange his or her own resources on the platform, then the people's mind gets inspired and supplemented and further is led to great achievement. It is quite common that the power of an individual is too limited to deal with a whole complex case, so amounts of individuals, who have similar targets, work as a group. For instance, Human Gene Project is handled by several developed and better developing countries, including USA, China, France, etc. Every country is allocated with the task of codify a small part of human gene. Consequently, by the time every country successfully accomplishes its job, human gene will be precisely codified. Thus, cooperation turns out to be the most efficient method to deal with cases, especially when the resource or creativity of the small group is insufficient.
Whereas, one sense of the two alone is too insufficient to advance people's jobs and works, and the combination of the two senses, but with rational arrangement, is the most efficient way to obtain success and steady leadership , which should be instilled into the mind of the pre-leaders. For one thing, suppose that the pre-leaders are only instilled with the sense of competition, they might feel helpless when they have to face the occasion that they alone are insufficient to deal with the case. For the other, if the pre-leaders are only instilled with the sense of cooperation, they might have lost the enthusiasm to maintain their leading position or even their leadership.
To expend the aspect above, the most rational arrangement of combination is that cooperation can gain a little advantage to competition. As common sense, the chief purpose of competition is to inhibit the development of opponents, whereas cooperation always brings benefit rather than harm. Therefore, the percentage of competition should be restrained to some extent.
To sum up, it is not as appropriate as it sounds to instill only the sense of competition or cooperation to the mind of young people who will become leaders in many areas. However, to cultivate leaders with comprehensive abilities, the society should endow them with the better arranged combination of the two senses. |
