The ApprenticeAfter watching “The Apprentice” , I have been thinking:What is Trump’s standard of being successful in one's official career ?Why the champion would be employed while those strong players have been fired ? Here I will analyze several participants in the match .Firsrt ,I want to say something about Rob who is the first person that be fired .The reason is that he just waited to be assigned tasks raher than compete with others positively . As we all know ,the passion of doing our work is very important ,and it can be judged whether the work is suitable for someone according to the attitude of him .Next ,Pamela gave a deep impression on me .There is no doubt that she is a excellent leader ,but due to the incorrect judgrment of her teammates’strengthes ,their team lost the match .Third ,I think Chris is one of the wost leaders .He did not have good performance while criticizing others ,and at the same time ,he did a taboo as a leader:Lost confidence at the begining of the game .The last is the winner of the match Kelly .I think his success is closely linked to his military background ,qualifications and experience .During the whole match ,we will find that he dares to undertake the responsibility ,has steady leadership ,organization capability is strong , he is courageous and talented ,respects Trump , knows how to manipulate others and has good performance records……According to this match ,we can learn a lot of things from it ,which will be very useful in our real work and life.1. As a leader ,it is very important and difficult to distribute each person's work ,because we must do assignment according to everyone’s strengths instead of our own habits .Maybe it will be very good to ask others some questions after completing the assignment .For example:What’s your opions about the assignment ?Do you satisfied with it ? Do you have any better suggestions ?As a member of team, we should have active participation andhave the courage to promote our own strengths.During the cooperation in a team ,we must fight for our own passion and our position at work.2. Leader must make the final decision by himself ,do not be too democratic to hesitate to make decisions .What is known is that leader will be responsible for the finanl results rather than others bear the final success or failure .3.It is unadvisable to hold the belife that somebody will bring you convenience or interest ,or they can help you when you left .So ,you should do good to each colleague unless he treated you as an enemy.4.Never express your strong feelings in the work ,not superstitious, not angry ,not tread ,not pessimistic and not without confidence ,espectially when you are the leader of the team .What you can do is just express your emotions positively ,actively , objectively and impartially in the field of our job .Also ,you should hold the belief that you are strong and invincible instead of weak and inconfident.5.When the team have failed ,the leader of it should organize a meeting to discuss the real reason of the failure , targeting the wrong man, which in order to protect the leader himself and other members..6.We should remember that when a person in the organization is too prominent ,too independent of conduct and has antisocial behavior , he will be hated by others and become their enemy.7.Don’t be indecisive in front of the boss, and also do not immediately make a hasty decision,because you will leave an impressions on superiors that you are a very hasty person .So,according to it ,you should immediately make an analysis about the problem and then give the final decision .At the same time , “Don't flatter the boss” ,otherwise it will become one of the most primary reasons that leads to the failure .In the face of increasingly fierce competition in the real society, I have to say , as a general staff is very difficult, but as a leader in a small organization or big company is more difficult. When you are a ordinary employee, you areconsidering how to do our own work better ,and at the same time ,you should deal with the relationship with others as well as the leader .Thus we can find their own position in the fierce competition and try our best to play the role of ourselves .Faced with a lot of difficulties, we should learn to bear ,from which grasp the opportunity. At the same time, as a leader, we need to learn to " use human ", we know how to get the right people in the right places is very difficult, and if it is able to do this well ,I believe that success is not too far. I think it is equally important to strengthen the positions and principles , as a leader you must learn to choose the right way which will lead the team to the final success so that to get the approval of others from the process .Finally ,I believe that work hard is the most important .When some things that we can not change ,what we can do is just try our best ,thus,we can alse get respect and recognition from our colleagues as well as our boss .As the old saying goes :If we can’t do as we would, we must do as we can .。

竞争能让人展现出最好的一面嘛英语作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Does Competition Really Bring Out the Best in Us?Have you ever noticed how everyone gets super serious and intense when there's a competition happening? It's like they turn into different people or something! Teachers are always saying that a little friendly competition can motivate us and help bring out our best qualities. But I'm not so sure about that. I've seen competition make some of my friends act pretty weird and not like their normal, nice selves at all. So I have to wonder - does competition really make us better? Or does it just bring out our ugly sides sometimes?Let me give you some examples of what I mean. Remember that big spelling bee we had at school last year? Samantha and Michael, who are usually best buds, stopped talking to each other for weeks because they were so busy trying to psyche each other out before the big event. Samantha even tried to mess with Michael's study flashcards by mixing up some of the words! And when it was finally time for the spelling bee, they were both sonervous and desperate to win that they weren't even having fun anymore.When the teacher announced that there was going to be a prize for the winner, that's when things really went off the rails. Samantha and Michael started arguing over who was the better speller and they even made fun of each other's mistakes during practice rounds. Their competitive spirits had brought out the worst in them - they were being poor sports, taunting each other, and their friendship was falling apart. It made me sad to see my two friends acting that way over a silly competition.I'm sure you've seen similar things happen during class spelling tests, art contests, science fairs, or even just competing to be the first one done with work. People get all obsessed with winning and suddenly they're acting sneaky, talking trash about others, and being all-around poor sports. Where is the fun in that? If competition makes us act that way, is it really such a good thing after all?Now I'm definitely not saying that all competition is bad. Sometimes a little friendly rivalry between friends can motivate everyone to work harder and put in more effort. Like when we run races in gym class against our buddies, usually we're all laughing and encouraging each other even while trying our bestto win. As long as everyone is being a good sport and having fun, I think competition can be a positive thing.But way too often, I see competition bringing out ugly behaviors in people that make me question if it's worth it. Suddenly, everyone is just focused on winning at all costs instead of putting in their personal best effort. People get jealous of each other, they cheat or bend the rules, and they stop caring about having fun or showing good sportsmanship. Some kids even get made fun of or bullied by others for not being "good enough" at whatever they're competing in. That's just mean and takes all the joy out of an activity.I remember one time we had a reading contest over our winter break where we tracked how many books we could read. I was so excited because I love reading, and I worked really hard to read a ton of books so I could try to get one of the prizes for top readers. But then this girl in my class, Alyssa, started spreading rumors that I was cheating somehow and just looking at the ends of books instead of really reading them. She was clearly just jealous that I had read more than her and it really hurt my feelings. My mom had to come in and show all the reviews I had written about the books I read to prove I wasn't lying. It was soupsetting that Alyssa tried to ruin the contest for me just because she got too competitive.So while I do think a little bit of competition can sometimes motivate us to push ourselves and do our best, more often than not, I've seen it bring out selfishness, poor attitudes, and just plain meanness in people. Nobody likes a sore loser or a braggy winner. True competition shouldn't make you want to bend the rules, put others down, or only care about coming out on top at any cost. It should inspire you to challenge yourself, yes, but also to have fun, build comradery, and push each other to be your best selves. Too much unhealthy competition can tear friends apart, ruin an activity for everyone, and make us act in ways our parents wouldn't be proud of.Next time there's a contest or competition, I hope we can all remember to keep it friendly, be good sports, and not take things too seriously. At the end of the day, it's supposed to be about having fun, trying our hardest, and bringing out the best in each other - not the worst. A little bit of positive competition between friends can be motivating, but unhealthy obsession with winning at any cost usually just makes people act bratty. Let's compete with more compassion, kindness, and joy - andremember that no contest is as important as being a good person. Now who wants to race me to the swings?篇2Title: Does Competition Really Bring Out the Best in Us?Hey there, friends! Today, I want to talk about something that's been on my mind a lot lately – competition. You know, like when we compete in sports, games, or even in school for the best grades. Some people say that competition is a good thing because it pushes us to do our best and be the best we can be. But is that really true? Let's explore this idea together!First, let's look at what competition is all about. Basically, it's when two or more people (or teams) try to beat each other at something. It could be a race, a game, a contest, or any other activity where there's a winner and a loser. The idea is that we all strive to be the best, the fastest, the smartest, or the most skilled, so we can come out on top.Now, I get why some people think competition is a good thing. When we compete, we're motivated to work harder, practice more, and give it our all. We don't want to let ourselves down or disappoint our teammates or coaches. Plus, winningfeels great! It's a huge confidence booster, and it makes us feel proud of ourselves.But here's the thing – competition can also bring out the worst in people. Have you ever seen someone get really mad or upset because they lost a game? Or maybe they cheated or played unfairly just to win? That's not cool at all! Competition can sometimes make people feel really bad about themselves if they don't win, and it can even lead to arguments or fights.Another problem with competition is that it can make us focus too much on winning and not enough on other important things, like having fun, being a good sport, or learning new skills. Sometimes, we get so caught up in trying to be the best that we forget to enjoy the journey and appreciate the process.Speaking of the process, let's talk about how competition can affect our friendships and relationships. When we're constantly trying to beat each other, it can create tension and jealousy between friends or teammates. Instead of supporting and encouraging each other, we might start seeing our friends as rivals or enemies. That's not cool at all!Now, I'm not saying that competition is all bad. Like I mentioned before, it can motivate us to work harder and do our best. Plus, it can be really exciting and fun to compete in afriendly way, especially when we're playing games or sports with our friends or family.But here's what I think – instead of always focusing on winning or being the best, we should try to see competition as a way to challenge ourselves, learn new things, and have fun. It's important to remember that winning isn't everything, and it's okay to lose sometimes. What matters most is that we gave it our best effort and had a good time.So, does competition really bring out the best in us? Well, it can, but only if we approach it with the right attitude. We need to be good sports, play fairly, and remember that it's just a game or a competition. We should support and encourage each other, not put each other down or get too competitive.At the end of the day, it's important to remember that we're all human beings, and we all have different strengths and weaknesses. Some of us might be better at certain things than others, but that doesn't make us better people. We should celebrate our differences and use competition as a way to learn from each other, not to put each other down.So, the next time you're competing in a game, a sport, or even in school, remember to have fun, be a good sport, and focus on doing your best. Don't get too caught up in winning orlosing, because at the end of the day, the real winners are the ones who can be gracious in victory and defeat, and who can use competition as a way to grow and learn.Thanks for listening, friends! Now, let's go out there and compete with kindness, respect, and a whole lot of fun! Who's with me?篇3Does Competition Bring Out the Best in Us?Have you ever played a game or sport against someone else? Maybe you raced to see who could run the fastest, or competed in a spelling bee. Whenever we compete against others, it makes us want to do our very best. But is that a good thing or not? I think competition can help us be our best selves, but it can also make us act in negative ways if we're not careful.When I'm in a competition, I always try extra hard. Like when I'm running races at school, I push myself to run as fast as my legs can go. If I was just running for fun, I probably wouldn't put in that same level of effort. Knowing there's a winner makes me more determined to be that winner. I'll practice and train leading up to the race so I can improve my speed. Competitions motivate me to work harder than I otherwise would.Competitions also help reveal our talents and abilities. If I just danced around my room by myself, I might not realize how skilled I am compared to others. But when I enter a dance competition, I get to see how my dancing measures up. If I do really well, it shows that I have a gift for dance. Losing helps me see what I need to work on too. Competitions give us a way to put our skills to the test in a fun way.Another good thing about competitions is they teach us important life lessons about being a good sport. Whether you win or lose, you have to learn to be gracious. If you lose, it's no fun, but you can't be a sore loser. You have to congratulate the winner and be proud you tried your best. And if you win, you need to be humble and not brag too much. My parents are always reminding me to have good sportsmanship.My favorite part of competitions, though, is getting to make new friends who share my interests. At dance competitions, I get to meet other kids who love dancing as much as I do. We can chat about our favorite styles and share tips to get better. Or in academic competitions, I can connect with peers who value learning like I do. Having things in common makes it easy to bond with people I may never have met otherwise.So in a lot of ways, I do think competition allows us to be our best selves. It motivates us to work hard, helps us identify our talents, teaches life skills, and brings people together. As long as we remember that winning isn't everything, a little bit of friendly competition can be a great way to grow.I see competition as a fun challenge that pushes me to keep improving myself. But I also know I'm defined by much more than just winning or losing a game. My true worth comes from being a kind person, treating others with respect, and making positive contributions to the world around me. If I can compete while still holding onto those core values, then I think competitions are an awesome way to keep striving to be my absolute best.篇4Does Competition Really Bring Out the Best in Us?Have you ever been in a competition before? Maybe it was a spelling bee, a race on the playground, or even just trying to be the first one done with your work in class. Competitions are all around us! Adults have competitions at their jobs, kids have competitions in school and sports, and there are evencompetitions for who can grow the biggest pumpkin or bake the most delicious pie.Grown-ups often say that competition is good because it pushes us to work harder and do our best. They say it motivates us and helps bring out the best in everyone. The winners get praise, trophies, or other rewards for their efforts. But is that really true? I've been thinking about it a lot, and I have some doubts that competition always makes people show their best selves.On one hand, I can see how competition might motivate some people to try their hardest. Like when we run races in gym class, I definitely feel pumped up and want to win. I push myself and give it everything I've got in hopes of coming in first place. The thought of coming in last makes me not want to slack off. And when I do win, I feel proud of myself for all the hard work I put in. The competitive feeling drives me to be focused and determined.Competition can also make you want to keep improving your skills. If you lose, you might work on getting better so you can win next time. Like when I struggled in the class spelling bee last year, I studied word lists for hours because I wanted to do better this year. I was motivated to become a stronger speller.Without that competition, I maybe wouldn't have practiced as hard.But on the other hand, competition can also bring out some not-so-great behavior in people, including me if I'm being honest. When I get too focused on winning, I can get mad if I make a mistake or start feeling jealous if someone else does better than me. One time, I got so wrapped up in wanting to get the highest score on a math test that I was up late every night studying and feeling stressed instead of just doing my best.Sometimes the pressure of competition pushes people too far, and they end up cheating or being poor sports. I've seen kids try to trip others during races or call them names if they lose. Or some students will spread mean rumors about kids who get better grades than them. No one's perfect, but competition can definitely make some of my classmates act bratty or be sore losers. It brings out their worst behavior.Competition can also lead to people feeling really bad about themselves. If you always lose or don't do as well as others, it can make you feel like you aren't good enough or don't have value. I have a friend who is a slower reader, and she gets really down on herself in competitions where reading is involved. The focus is all on who is the best instead of recognizing that we ALL havedifferent strengths and talents. Competitions make it seem like only the winners matter and have worth.I've also noticed that in some competitions, not everyone gets treated fairly or has the same chances to begin with. Kids with more resources or opportunities sometimes have an unfair advantage. Like the school's running team only lets the fastest kids join, so if your family can't afford fancy running shoes or you didn't get a chance to practice as much, you'll never be picked. Or students with more money can take special classes or hire tutors to prepare for academic competitions that other kids don't get access to. How is that bringing out the best in everyone?At the end of the day, I think a little bit of competition could be a good thing - it adds some excitement and motivation. But too much competition seems to bring out things in people that aren't so great like selfishness, cheating, feeling inadequate if you don't win, and unfair advantages. Maybe we should focus less on constantly trying to prove who is the best and more on pushing ourselves to develop our interests and talents without tearing each other down. We're a team, not rivals! Celebrating people's different strengths and working together instead of against each other could bring out the best in all of us.So yes, a little bit of friendly competition is fine and can maybe help us work harder sometimes. But too much seems to bring out some pretty ugly behaviors that I don't think shows people's best selves. What do you think - does competition actually make you a better person or not so much? I'm still trying to figure it all out myself!篇5Can Competition Really Bring Out The Best In Us?Have you ever felt that tingly feeling in your tummy when you're about to compete in something? That mix of nervousness and excitement all bundled up together? I sure have! And it's not just me - all my friends feel the same way too whenever we're getting ready for a big competition.Competition is a pretty big part of our lives as kids, isn't it? We compete in sports tournaments, spelling bees, math competitions, you name it! The grown-ups always tell us that it's good for us and that it brings out the best in people. But I'm not so sure about that. Sure, sometimes I do feel super fired up and determined to win. But other times, the pressure makes me feel anxious and worried that I might not be good enough.I think one of the main reasons adults like competition so much is because they believe it motivates us to work harder and do better. And I can kind of see their point. Like when we have a big soccer game coming up, my team and I practice way more than usual. We run extra laps, do more drills, and watch video replays to look for ways to improve our game. It's almost like the thought of competing against another team pushes us to give our ultimate effort in training.And you know that feeling when you're in the middle of a competition and you're trailing behind? That burning desire to catch up and overtake the person in the lead? That's competition driving you to dig deeper and squeeze out every last ounce of ability you have. I felt that way during the district spelling bee finals last year when I misspelled a really tricky word. I was so close to being eliminated, but the thought of losing after coming that far made me laser-focused for the rest of the bee. I ended up winning!So yeah, I can definitely see how competition can spur you on to work harder, persist more, and maybe even uncover some hidden potential you didn't know you had. When you're driven by that will to win, you'll go to crazy lengths and keep pushing forward way past what you thought were your limits.But here's the tricky part about competition - it can also bring out the worst in some people. My friend Jessica is a tennis whiz, and she's super competitive about it. Don't get me wrong, it's awesome that she works so hard to be great at tennis. But sometimes, she gets a little too fired up and starts arguing with line judges or having angry outbursts when she misses a shot. That's when the competition has maybe gone a bit too far, you know? It's almost like she gets so consumed by her desire to win that she forgets basic good sportsmanship.I've also noticed that really competitive people can become a bit self-centered or arrogant when they keep winning. Like this one kid at school, Max, who is a total brainiac. He's won pretty much every academic contest you can think of - geography bees, math Olympics, you name it. These days, he struts around looking smug and makes snide comments behind people's backs about how dumb they are compared to him. I get that he's super proud of his abilities, but does he really need to make others feel bad about themselves? That doesn't seem very nice to me.And let's not forget about the terrible-loser types who basically have a big ol' tantrum when they lose a competition. You've probably seen these kids who start crying, kicking things around, and blaming everyone but themselves when they comein second or third. That's definitely not a great look! Losing is just part of competition and it's way better to accept it gracefully instead of being a sore loser.So I dunno, maybe the grown-ups have a point that competition can sometimes bring out the best in people by making them try super hard and find new reserves of strength or skill. But from what I've seen, it can also bring out some pretty negative stuff like arrogance, anger issues, and sore loser syndrome.I think the main thing is to find that healthy balance and keep competition contained to just certain parts of life. Like, yeah I get competitive about soccer or spelling contests. But I also know how to be a good friend, get along with others, and not go overboard with the whole winning-is-everything mentality. My parents are always reminding me that competition should be a fun challenge, not an obsession that consumes your entire personality.At the end of the day, winning competitions is cool and all. But it's even more important to be a good human - someone who is kind, humble and treats others with respect whether they win or lose. As my dad always tells me: "It's great to compete and do your best. Just don't let it make you besty!"篇6Does Competition Bring Out the Best in People?Hey there! Have you ever wondered if competition is a good thing or not? Some people say it's great because it pushes us to do our best. Others think it's not so cool because it can make people feel bad or act mean. Well, let me tell you what I think about this whole competition thingy!First off, what even is competition? It's when people try to be better than others at something, like sports, grades, video games, or even who can eat the most ice cream (yum!). The goal is to win or be the best. Pretty simple, right?Now, let's talk about the good stuff first. I think competition can definitely make us try harder and do our best. Like, if I'm racing my friend in a running competition, I'll probably run faster than if we were just jogging for fun. It's because I really want to win and be the fastest! Competition gives us that extra push to work hard and give it our all.Another good thing about competition is that it can help us learn and improve. If I lose a spelling bee, I might study harder for the next one so I can spell better. Or if my team loses a basketball game, we can practice more and figure out what weneed to work on. Losing isn't fun, but it can motivate us to get better.Plus, competing can be really exciting and fun! Imagine playing a video game tournament or having a dance-off with your friends. It's a rush when you're trying your hardest to win, and even if you don't, you still had a blast. Competition adds a little spice to life, you know?But, of course, there are some not-so-great things about competition too. Sometimes, people can get a little too competitive and forget to have fun. They might start cheating or being mean to others just to win. That's no good! It's important to remember that it's just a game or a contest, and being a good sport is way more important than winning.Another problem with competition is that it can make some people feel really bad about themselves if they don't win. Like, if I'm terrible at math and keep coming in last place in the math competitions, I might start thinking I'm just stupid or not good enough. That's not a nice feeling at all!So, what's the verdict? Is competition a good thing or a bad thing? Well, in my opinion, it can be both! Competition can definitely push us to be our best selves and work hard. It can bereally fun and exciting too. But, we also have to be careful not to take it too seriously or let it make us feel bad about ourselves.The key is to have a healthy balance. We should compete and try our best, but also remember that it's not the end of the world if we don't win. We should be proud of ourselves for trying our hardest, and treat others with kindness and respect, whether they win or lose.At the end of the day, competition is just a game or a challenge. The most important thing is to have fun, learn from our mistakes, and always be a good sport. If we can do that, then competition can definitely bring out the best in us!Phew, that was a lot of talking about competition! I don't know about you, but I could go for a nice, big ice cream sundae right about now. Maybe we could have an ice cream eating competition later? Just kidding! (Unless you want to, then I'm totally game!)。
