I am not for living a hyper-competitive life style, but we do go up against those around us all the time. Someone has to win, and someone has to lose. We perform. We make decisions. We must choose how to proceed. Success offers rewards. Failure hits us with penalties.
Where we fail, we must reflect and take the blame for our lackluster performance. We must retool, burnish our skills, get right back into the game, vowing to do better next time. We probably will, and we probably will be mostly successful and prosperous over the length of our career.
Our free enterprise system can be cruel, cold and heartless, but it builds character and rewards individual effort. The overall gain for each competitor and for society as a whole is incomparably profitable for all.
We must be graded in the classroom and in the marketplace. Our elections and actions can and must lead to measurable, judged consequences. Let the games continue.
