But they really insist that competition can be healthy and fun if we keep it in perspective. This can be very true at points.

The first and most important step to achieving this concept is recognizing that belief of value of competition is built on myths and researches. There are better and more enjoyment ways for children of the society and for us to work and play and live in a wonderful environment. It really it’s all about competition sometimes is just the love of the activity.
