If children can't handle competition when it's necessary, or take some criticism, or never strive to be better because their parents inadvertently programmed them to believe they are already the best even when they're not, then they are in for some serious shocks and bumps down the road.

Some people don't like competition because it makes them work harder, better.

No child wants to fail. Everyone wants to succeed.

Competition helps people figure it out.

I think competition is very important; it breeds many good things in a person.

I don't like the idea of competition - maybe because I kept losing them when I was a kid. Maybe it's better to be the one who loses?

The challenge as a parent is letting your kids fail in the right ways because that's where we do most of our learning.

When you introduce competition into the public school system, most studies show that schools start to do better when they are competing for students.

It is nice to have valid competition; it pushes you to do better.
