High School Entrance Examination Essay Materials: About Competition

Competition and cooperation are not "hostile brothers". Competition cannot be separated from cooperation. Because of cooperation, we can complement each other's advantages, learn from each other's strengths, draw our fingers together, clench our fists, and form a joint force. Only through competition and cooperation can we break through the limitations of working alone and achieve a win-win or multiple-win situation. In the eyes of ordinary people, competition and cooperation are a pair of "hostile brothers", and "one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers"! This is confirmed by the extremely fierce competition in my country's wine market. From market battles to standards battles, from brand battles to origin naming battles, in the small territorial kingdom of wine, tragic wars are unfolding with flashes of swords and sounds of killing.

To completely reverse this situation, we must learn to cooperate, maintain a good cooperative situation while competing fairly, and escape the intensifying whirlpool of price cuts. Another example is Shenzhou and Macro, two large water heater manufacturers that are equally matched. The slogan of "China" is "Everything in China is pursued by Macro", while the slogan of "Macro" is "Macro rises in China". Their respective slogans include the other's product brand. This way both parties can gain fame and profit. You send clients to me, and I send clients to you. The two types of water heaters quickly entered thousands of households, bringing huge profits to the two companies. They cooperated in the competition and achieved a win-win situation. First, competition without cooperation can only cause harm to both parties, especially the kind of unfair competition that ignores morality. The final result can only be harm to others and ourselves. Educate students to oppose unfair competition and develop a sense of competition. Second, competition and cooperation are in a relationship of unity of opposites. There is competition in cooperation, and there is cooperation in competition. Educate students to compete without forgetting cooperation. Because competition and cooperation are unified. Cooperation cannot be without competition. Cooperation without competition is a pool of stagnant water. Cooperation is for better competition. The better the cooperation, the stronger the power, the greater the possibility of success. Competition cannot be without cooperation. Competition without cooperation is lonely and powerless competition. , it's "life or death" or lose-lose.

------------------

The meaning of "competition": competing with others for one's own interests. (Modern Chinese Dictionary, page 671) The connotation is to do better than others or win something. The word competition comes from the Latin competere, which means "to work together or to seek (petere) some common interests together". Based on the original meaning of the word, true competition refers to the cooperation to achieve something. When individuals have the same goal, they work or work together.

The result of competition is survival of the fittest. As Darwin's theory of biological evolution says: "The fittest survive and the unfit are eliminated." "Competition is a contest of strength. The strong survive and develop, while the weak are eliminated or destroyed. Competition is also a contest of wisdom. The talented win and the mediocre lose. In real life, competition is everywhere. All the time.

Competition increases vitality

The jaguar is an endangered animal. There is a pair of jaguars living in the country of Peru. zoo. In order to protect it, people separately planned 1,500 acres of mountainous land from nature to build a tiger park. It has mountains and water, the rooms are air-conditioned, and there are groups of cattle, sheep and rabbits for the tigers to eat. It is really a paradise for tigers. The strange thing is that no one has ever seen a tiger catch prey. It only eats the meat sent by the administrator. It often lies in an air-conditioned house, eats and sleeps, and eats while sleeping. It becomes fat and often gets sick. Later, a citizen said: "Tiger is a forest. You can't just let a group of small animals eat grass. You have to let at least one leopard, right?" The leader of the tiger park thought it made sense, so he captured three leopards and threw them into the tiger park. This trick really worked. The leopard not only competed with the jaguar for food, but also often threatened the jaguar's safety. The jaguar no longer slept in, and would rush in front of the leopard and provoke the leopard from time to time. It didn't take long for the jaguar to regain its vitality and recover. In order to improve his health, he also allowed the female tiger to give birth to a cub.

Material inspiration: The competition between tigers and leopards is a kind of "law of the jungle". Under the influence of competition, the jaguar's extraordinary vitality and survival ability are stimulated and its vitality is improved.

The competition for survival is the main external condition for improving ability. Competition and pressure are the basis of animal evolution. Since animal development is relatively passive, competition and pressure in the living environment are often key factors that promote their development.

Competitors of equal strength and partners who are brothers

Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui are both equally powerful competitors and sympathizing partners. They came from the same school and put on national uniforms at the same time. In that May when flowers were blooming, "Stay in day and night, and enjoy the fruits of spring and autumn overnight". The excitement of winning the Wei Silin Cup (men's team championship cup) washed away the young dreams. Two good friends once again entered the men's singles. finals.

However, when the men's singles championship was really in front of them, the good friends suddenly realized the cruelty of the ending: their victory meant the failure of their friends. What's valuable is that on the field, they fully demonstrated their wisdom and talents. Liu Guoliang won with surprise, while Kong Linghui was steady and aggressive, and the fierce competition reached the decisive game. In the end, Kong Linghui, who played both left and right, became the new champion in men's singles. There was no ecstasy as imagined. What we saw was an unusually calm Kong Linghui, and an even embarrassed smile on his face. A trace of disappointment flashed across Liu Guoliang's face, but after all, it was his friend who won the championship, and his congratulations came from the bottom of his heart. This game taught the two good friends how to face competition and cooperation. In later games, they won the men's doubles championship together.

Looking at corporate competition and warmth from Ford's "—Beam of Lights"

On September 16, the "General Motors Centennial Celebration" was officially launched at General Motors' global headquarters - the Renaissance Center in Detroit. What is surprising is that Ford, which also belongs to the "Centennial Club", also brought a special blessing to its old friend: using Ford's office building and the lights inside the building, it created the "HAPPY 100 GM" of words. This special blessing allows us to see the magnanimity of Ford, a century-old company, and the warmth of healthy competition.

General Motors and Ford are rivals who compete with and respect each other. When General Motors started, Ford, which was founded five years earlier, developed and produced the first Model T car for ordinary people in 1908. General Motors was not far behind, surpassing Ford in 1928. Over the past 100 years, the process of competition and mutual learning between these two companies has effectively promoted the development of the world's automobile industry, and at the same time made outstanding contributions to the development of human civilization and the international economy.

The beam of light from Ford congratulating GM for its centenary year penetrated the darkness and formed the warmest picture in business competition, warm and affectionate. In fact, it should become a source of culture and spirit that can be absorbed and passed on by companies with long-term goals.

Material point: Compared with Ford's grandeur, the actual attitude of many Chinese companies towards competition is worrying. We have never lacked high-profile slogans such as "Learn from competitors" and "Competitors are competitive teammates", and we also have no shortage of admiration for the concepts of "competition and cooperation". However, once it is implemented in concrete practice, it changes into a ferocious face. , will retaliate, deliberately attack, and take pride in destroying competitors. It seems that there is only the blood and cruelty of competition, but there is no trace of tenderness in competition.

Applicable topics: opponents, warmth, tolerance, respect, wisdom

Only with competition can you have motivation; only with motivation can you develop

Pepsi-Cola Company and Coca-Cola Company These two competitors are also highlighting this effect in the fierce competition between them. Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola are both eyeing each other. As long as the other party makes new moves, the other party will definitely have new tricks. As early as the 1920s, Coca-Cola used airplanes to spray smoke in the air and draw the words "COCA-COLA" in Cuba. Unfortunately, it failed due to lack of experience. In 1940, Pepsi-Cola even rented 8 airplanes and flew 14.5 kilometers. Thousands of kilometers away, in cities on the east and west coasts, I used airplane tail spray to write Pepsi ads. Of course, Coca-Cola had to fight back in time. In order to strengthen the image of the nation's number one drink, Coca-Cola sponsored the 1939 New York World's Fair, invited celebrities to sip it, and published their photos on magazine covers. But in comparison, Pepsi's advertising methods are more creative. They specially designed a set of cartoons and created a seemingly ordinary advertising song that became popular across the United States. The two giants spared no effort in the competition and tried their best to defeat their opponents, but the result was that both of them have made great progress.

Material point: without competition, there is no motivation. Without motivation, there is no progress.

This sentence is a perfect interpretation between "Pepsi" and "Coca-Cola". Not only is this true in nature, but only through constant competition among enterprises can they have vitality and vitality, can they constantly overcome difficulties and move forward, and can they open up their own world.
