I was standing there trying to compute what was going on. I had walked into a room in tears because of what had happened but a few minuets ago. I couldn’t beilve what u saw before me was real
I hate to compete it isnt very fun at the end of the day you either lose or win and i you lose your not very happy and if you win you’ll try again sooner or later you’ll fail tho
I am in an imaginary competition with every girl who I think is beautiful. I don’t even know it. I hate them because I want them. Maybe. I want this to stop.
I wish I didn’t have to, it makes me tired. The idea of it annoys me. Having to compete to pull and drag people… nooooo
I want things to come my way because they are supposed to be.
I don’t like competing, hate it.
It had always been a competition between Ella and Lara. eople denided it, but thats exactly what being a twin is. you cant deny that its always a com[[etition, with someone to compare youself against. always someone to show you how it could have been done better.
something I don’t like to do much, I was taught it was something ugly, so I’ve never done it, associating it with pulling others down. I do work hard, but no, I don’t compete.
I tried so many times to fall in love with someone else after you
But nothing could compete with the way you
Smiled at me the first time we met
We spoke symphonies
Concertos
Under our breaths
A cacophony
Of sounds
Creating beauty
Nothing could compete
billy the zipps lived for one thing and one thing only – and that was to set the world record for eating the most pears in a single day. unfortunately, during month of his training camp, he choked on a pear skin and died. we only knew one thing about him: he lived to compete.
I know had to compete.there was no other way to get where I wanted to go. But did it have to be that way does it ever have to be that way? I sighed and stared down at the brown headed monster. what the heck these these things are in me way I have to beat them and show them whos boss. Get your a game on. I crouched down and dodged into the sunset the wind whistled through my hair as I my heart pounded against my chest and my nerves pulsed with pride. I am ready to compete.
The massage was meant to relax. His counselor said he was too wound up, too caught up in beating others to enjoy life. Closing his eyes and taking deep breaths, he tried not to think of his new account, how it would affect his sale numbers for the month. Then there was that sneaky jerk Jamie, always looking to sabotage, and his potential commission. He could come in number one if he pushed a little –
Competition is hardwired into my brain, like all human. However, I can’t win anything. I just can’t put the effort and don’t have the natural talent to pull it off. So instead I’m just gonna sleep in this dumpster.
I was never much for races. Not because I wasn’t fast, but because I didn’t like the rift between competitors. And I’d much rather be an average then to make someone feel bad that I am ahead. And the same went for him, I would not compete with her over him. Simply because he wasn’t mine in the first place. He is my friend, but I would not risk losing my friendship with her over him. It’s just a shame she couldn’t tell how much this bothered me.
The place on the throne is rightfully mine. I have seen it in my dreams, and from the way God talks to me. The others before me: it is not rightfully theirs. They do not compare to the likes of me. I am perfect for the throne, just like my father told me.
I won’t give up the fight. No matter what others say about me, the competition is never over. I will be king of the land: I’ll easily win.
We are not here to compete with each other. we are all different and do not need tdo that. We should all just work on being the best we can be without listening to the sounds of small minds telling us what they think is what we should be doing. Just do your best. Period.
On some nights, there are instances where they have to compete for what late night movie they would watch, or who would bring in the midnight snacks. Of course, the clear winner would be the one holding the remote, or the one who prepares the snacks faster.
Adrenaline rushing, muscles tingling, breath coming in short shallow bursts. Her vision began to blur as she surrendered her body to the moment, pushing her to her limit. Finally, the release and the collapse into exhaustion.
I am not one who likes to compete. Actually I loate the word. I do not want to go up against anyone nor do I care to see if I am better than anyone. The mere thought of having to race against anything make me crazy.
competing is scary… having to use your own skills against others in hopes that you prove that you are greater and more capable? what a nightmare. yet this terrible thing is actually important. mankind
Everyone belongs in different worlds, and my world is the competitions.
Everyday, my parents would want me to compete and my coach would want me to win. Competing is the most valued thing in the family, and I am supposed to be one of the competitors. Competing, I hate that word. I belong in that kind of world, but I would do anything to move out of it.
The challenges that we face each day have the requirement that we embark on competing with our fellow human beings. Even on the sports field or in the arena, people have been competing since the dawn of time. Sometimes it can get a little dangerous, but then again, what would we do without the desire for success with the competition.
If this person is important to you and you want him or her in your life, there are things you can do to make this less of a problem yourself:
Make it clear that there is no competition. Let them see that in your eyes, they are the winner. Do you have to actually believe this? Not really, but it helps. Your relationships with people will be much more pleasant if you figure out ways to make them feel good about themselves when they’re around you.
Take a good look at your own habits. Is it possible that the problem here is you, not your friend? Are you being as gracious as you could be? Does a part of you want her to be jealous of you? Be honest with yourself. No one wants to hang out with someone who makes them feel inferior. Don’t brag or talk about yourself as much when you’re around this friend. Let others shine.
Compliment him or her a lot, but do it in a genuine way. Really look for this person’s strengths, and draw attention to them when you can. They will drop their guard and want to be around you all the time, and it will do wonders for your relationship with them.

Lying amongst the brush, moving forward was not something he wanted to do. Not yet, when the sweetness of the earth was cold and damp against his stomach, when the weak rays of sun barely touched his neck. But he couldn’t abide that all the others, down in the town would move forward in time, whilst he too comfortable in the now would remain frozen where he was, and who he was. He didn’t want to win, but he didn’t want to be left behind,
races. running. relays. retrace. human beings lost and found in an endless vicious cycle of jealousy. compete against me but you should really compete against yourself. lost in luck. left behind. need know why. just stick to the grind. leave me here so you can go on, i’ll catch up before too long. compete to complete.
To compete is to take part to challenge to give it a go, to take part. Competition, its what makes us human, right? Competition to live to survive to grow, to get ahead. There is only one guaranteed winner, one that competes with assurance of the victory. Death.
There was a sense of competition, yes, but in the sense that everything he did made me feel like being better. How can one person make that much of an impact? Not in the way that a stone strikes the earth, but in the way that one ball rolls bumps another, and the momentum carries and picks up and grows until something spectacular happens.
I always tried to compete with him at school. We had music class together and it was no competition, really. When it came down to it, he was just plain ol’ better. I didn’t have the background knowledge or even the innate talent that he did. He used to show off his music to us – “Look, I’ve been working on this at home,” and all of a sudden he’d play some mp3 off free software that sounded like a ten second snatch of the future.
I have all the room to improve now, where he has none. There’s no competition to play off anymore, just a straight line as I learn more and catch up to his genius in that slow crawl that will never reach his benchmark. I could be good, but really I will never be the genius he was.
Everyone wants me to compete. Not just me–but you, too. The world is a place where competition rules. One cannot be just so-so. One cannot be happy with where they are at. You always have to look past the other person and make sure you beat then, too.
Competition, for me, is a way to tear down another person. Competition is healthy sometimes, sure. We need that stress. But not when it’ll kill another person.
I had to do it. I had to compete. It was my last chance. The only option i have left is to walk home with this forfieted guilt ad a hollow conscience. This is not the end. I have got to believe that i can.
I never want to be your rival. I never wanted to compete with you. You put so much value in gold over silver, and how tall the trophy rises on your mantle.
All I wanted to do was run. From what, I don’t know. Toward what, I don’t know, either. The world, to me, is an endless treadmill which I am constantly skidding along on. A moving highway that leads to railroad tracks that leads to the sea that leads to the void.
I was standing there trying to compute what was going on. I had walked into a room in tears because of what had happened but a few minuets ago. I couldn’t beilve what u saw before me was real
All she did was compete
Everyday
With everything
And everyone
Destroying herself slowly
Her hair had to be the best
I hate to compete it isnt very fun at the end of the day you either lose or win and i you lose your not very happy and if you win you’ll try again sooner or later you’ll fail tho
I am in an imaginary competition with every girl who I think is beautiful. I don’t even know it. I hate them because I want them. Maybe. I want this to stop.
I wish I didn’t have to, it makes me tired. The idea of it annoys me. Having to compete to pull and drag people… nooooo
I want things to come my way because they are supposed to be.
I don’t like competing, hate it.
It had always been a competition between Ella and Lara. eople denided it, but thats exactly what being a twin is. you cant deny that its always a com[[etition, with someone to compare youself against. always someone to show you how it could have been done better.
something I don’t like to do much, I was taught it was something ugly, so I’ve never done it, associating it with pulling others down. I do work hard, but no, I don’t compete.
I tried
Over
And over
I tried so many times to fall in love with someone else after you
But nothing could compete with the way you
Smiled at me the first time we met
We spoke symphonies
Concertos
Under our breaths
A cacophony
Of sounds
Creating beauty
Nothing could compete
billy the zipps lived for one thing and one thing only – and that was to set the world record for eating the most pears in a single day. unfortunately, during month of his training camp, he choked on a pear skin and died. we only knew one thing about him: he lived to compete.
I know had to compete.there was no other way to get where I wanted to go. But did it have to be that way does it ever have to be that way? I sighed and stared down at the brown headed monster. what the heck these these things are in me way I have to beat them and show them whos boss. Get your a game on. I crouched down and dodged into the sunset the wind whistled through my hair as I my heart pounded against my chest and my nerves pulsed with pride. I am ready to compete.
The massage was meant to relax. His counselor said he was too wound up, too caught up in beating others to enjoy life. Closing his eyes and taking deep breaths, he tried not to think of his new account, how it would affect his sale numbers for the month. Then there was that sneaky jerk Jamie, always looking to sabotage, and his potential commission. He could come in number one if he pushed a little –
“Sir, your massage is over.”
Damn it.
Competition is hardwired into my brain, like all human. However, I can’t win anything. I just can’t put the effort and don’t have the natural talent to pull it off. So instead I’m just gonna sleep in this dumpster.
I was never much for races. Not because I wasn’t fast, but because I didn’t like the rift between competitors. And I’d much rather be an average then to make someone feel bad that I am ahead. And the same went for him, I would not compete with her over him. Simply because he wasn’t mine in the first place. He is my friend, but I would not risk losing my friendship with her over him. It’s just a shame she couldn’t tell how much this bothered me.
My friends compete in cross-country. They all want me to do it too, but I don’t want to. Not that running isn’t fun, it kind of is, I suppose.
The place on the throne is rightfully mine. I have seen it in my dreams, and from the way God talks to me. The others before me: it is not rightfully theirs. They do not compare to the likes of me. I am perfect for the throne, just like my father told me.
I won’t give up the fight. No matter what others say about me, the competition is never over. I will be king of the land: I’ll easily win.
We are not here to compete with each other. we are all different and do not need tdo that. We should all just work on being the best we can be without listening to the sounds of small minds telling us what they think is what we should be doing. Just do your best. Period.
On some nights, there are instances where they have to compete for what late night movie they would watch, or who would bring in the midnight snacks. Of course, the clear winner would be the one holding the remote, or the one who prepares the snacks faster.
Where two or more people take part in something with the aim to win. For example a football came where two teams compete to score the most goals.
me and she
Adrenaline rushing, muscles tingling, breath coming in short shallow bursts. Her vision began to blur as she surrendered her body to the moment, pushing her to her limit. Finally, the release and the collapse into exhaustion.
I am not one who likes to compete. Actually I loate the word. I do not want to go up against anyone nor do I care to see if I am better than anyone. The mere thought of having to race against anything make me crazy.
competing is scary… having to use your own skills against others in hopes that you prove that you are greater and more capable? what a nightmare. yet this terrible thing is actually important. mankind
I compete with myself to achieve all that I need to do.
Everyone belongs in different worlds, and my world is the competitions.
Everyday, my parents would want me to compete and my coach would want me to win. Competing is the most valued thing in the family, and I am supposed to be one of the competitors. Competing, I hate that word. I belong in that kind of world, but I would do anything to move out of it.
They can’t tell what he’s doing it for.
The money. The fame. The love.
The question of Which one does he value the most? lingering all on their minds, when the truth is: none of the options.
He does it for life.
I looked around me, at all of the bystanders.
“Are you ready?” someone to my left asked me.
I nodded, breathing slowly.
We tensed, and a shot echoed into the crisp morning air.
My legs pumped under me, as I could feel the cords and tendons working like pulleys on a train engine.
The challenges that we face each day have the requirement that we embark on competing with our fellow human beings. Even on the sports field or in the arena, people have been competing since the dawn of time. Sometimes it can get a little dangerous, but then again, what would we do without the desire for success with the competition.
If this person is important to you and you want him or her in your life, there are things you can do to make this less of a problem yourself:
Make it clear that there is no competition. Let them see that in your eyes, they are the winner. Do you have to actually believe this? Not really, but it helps. Your relationships with people will be much more pleasant if you figure out ways to make them feel good about themselves when they’re around you.
Take a good look at your own habits. Is it possible that the problem here is you, not your friend? Are you being as gracious as you could be? Does a part of you want her to be jealous of you? Be honest with yourself. No one wants to hang out with someone who makes them feel inferior. Don’t brag or talk about yourself as much when you’re around this friend. Let others shine.
Compliment him or her a lot, but do it in a genuine way. Really look for this person’s strengths, and draw attention to them when you can. They will drop their guard and want to be around you all the time, and it will do wonders for your relationship with them.

If this person is important to you and you want him or her in your life, there are things you can do to make this less of a problem yourself:
Make it clear that there is no competition. Let them see that in your eyes, they are the winner. Do you have to actually believe this? Not really, but it helps. Your relationships with people will be much more pleasant if you figure out ways to make them feel good about themselves when they’re around you.
Take a good look at your own habits. Is it possible that the problem here is you, not your friend? Are you being as gracious as you could be? Does a part of you want her to be jealous of you? Be honest with yourself. No one wants to hang out with someone who makes them feel inferior. Don’t brag or talk about yourself as much when you’re around this friend. Let others shine.

I constantly have to compete with myself.
Every critique
Anxiety
Fear
Joy
Dream
It must become better
Or Worse
They must be beaten
To the end.
Lying amongst the brush, moving forward was not something he wanted to do. Not yet, when the sweetness of the earth was cold and damp against his stomach, when the weak rays of sun barely touched his neck. But he couldn’t abide that all the others, down in the town would move forward in time, whilst he too comfortable in the now would remain frozen where he was, and who he was. He didn’t want to win, but he didn’t want to be left behind,
races. running. relays. retrace. human beings lost and found in an endless vicious cycle of jealousy. compete against me but you should really compete against yourself. lost in luck. left behind. need know why. just stick to the grind. leave me here so you can go on, i’ll catch up before too long. compete to complete.
To take part, to win, to lose. Its our basic human instinct to fight for life , to grow but one competitor is always the victor, death.

To compete is to take part to challenge to give it a go, to take part. Competition, its what makes us human, right? Competition to live to survive to grow, to get ahead. There is only one guaranteed winner, one that competes with assurance of the victory. Death.
She was ready to compete . Ready to run and beat everyone. She wa going to win this, she was going to get that metal .
There was a sense of competition, yes, but in the sense that everything he did made me feel like being better. How can one person make that much of an impact? Not in the way that a stone strikes the earth, but in the way that one ball rolls bumps another, and the momentum carries and picks up and grows until something spectacular happens.
I always tried to compete with him at school. We had music class together and it was no competition, really. When it came down to it, he was just plain ol’ better. I didn’t have the background knowledge or even the innate talent that he did. He used to show off his music to us – “Look, I’ve been working on this at home,” and all of a sudden he’d play some mp3 off free software that sounded like a ten second snatch of the future.
I have all the room to improve now, where he has none. There’s no competition to play off anymore, just a straight line as I learn more and catch up to his genius in that slow crawl that will never reach his benchmark. I could be good, but really I will never be the genius he was.
Everyone wants me to compete. Not just me–but you, too. The world is a place where competition rules. One cannot be just so-so. One cannot be happy with where they are at. You always have to look past the other person and make sure you beat then, too.
Competition, for me, is a way to tear down another person. Competition is healthy sometimes, sure. We need that stress. But not when it’ll kill another person.
I had to do it. I had to compete. It was my last chance. The only option i have left is to walk home with this forfieted guilt ad a hollow conscience. This is not the end. I have got to believe that i can.
I never want to be your rival. I never wanted to compete with you. You put so much value in gold over silver, and how tall the trophy rises on your mantle.
All I wanted to do was run. From what, I don’t know. Toward what, I don’t know, either. The world, to me, is an endless treadmill which I am constantly skidding along on. A moving highway that leads to railroad tracks that leads to the sea that leads to the void.
