Competition

It has it's ups and downs, just make sure you're the winner and sometimes it's hard to do that.

Competition is good in business, all right. It gives companies the incentive to improve or do better for a share of the market and sales value. It continually stimulates the economy. So competition is a nice thing to have around - only if it serves its intended purpose.

But let's get on the "individually" part. Me perform better with competition? Largely depends on the environment or situation that I would be competing in. I'm really really picky with competition.

In certain situations. When gaming, for instance, I tend to want to perform better when I'm competing against somebody. It's been natural to me since childhood.

However, I find it extremely annoying when people want to make a competition out of something that never was meant to be one. I've met too many people like that.

Short answer: Most of the time, usually when it's something I'm comfortable competing in.

Some I do. I guess it would depend on the situation, like in a video game. i will concentrate harder. if it was school work, I would pay a little more attention to what the topic was. Everything else, I just do whateever

It depends for me.

I would say yes if there are people I am competing against who I believe to be better than me or legitimate rivals, but if it's against people who I don't perceive as legitimate rivals, then there's no challenge and I don't find simply being recognized as better than others I already was sure I was better than anyways to be motivating.

Yes

I like to compete against people even if I don't always win. It's the challenge that matters.

NO!

I'm a relaxed type of person, and thats when i think and preform best!
if I'm competing against others i just lose focus, so i prefer to relax and do things on my own time.

being the "never gonna give up even if it kills me" type personality that I am, I'd say that I act with anger if it gets competitive =/. As for if I do better when I am like that though, it depends on what I'm competing on. If it's videogames or a chair placement challenges then I definitely believe that I do better. If it doesn't fall into either of those categories then the odds of me doing better are pretty slim.

I was never an ambitious person to begin with and when I started working, I selectively looked for work that fit my beliefs and lifestyle.

So I'll say that I thrive best when there is little or no competition. My definition of success is congruent with my company's process driven values where a lot of emphasis is placed on teamwork and personal growth.

love competition hate when I got money on the line though makes me feel shakey but once Im actually competeing versus someone i feel good like there is no stress nothing but excitement
