competition

"you can live happily in this competitive world only if you yourself are not competitive.

...

actually, you will do far better work if you have a job that you love.

...

competition does not produce intelligence ...

...

unfortunately, we are not trained to love what we do. all that you are trained for is to get high marks, to pass examinations, and to prepare for a good job."
