Life is a competition, there is no argument, so why the big issues? We compete for scarce resources such as educational opportunities, linked employment prospects, investment choices and business connections. Yes, it is who you know, not what you know that is important. Networking is an important aspect of opportunity creation, this is where you generate chances, this is the forum for generating possibilities.

Whilst we don’t need to drag others down, we can still compete in life and display courtesy to others and treat them in a respectful manner. Yes, there are individuals who are more successful, we need not be jealous of their achievements, we should not measure our success against their achievements and accomplishments. Instead, we concentrate on our own needs and desires, there will always be a more powerful person, faster, smarter and better looking so we just have to set our own targets and achieve our personal goals.
