Competition

Well yeah we compete to survive.
Law of the nature and I'm quite sure some of us is really familiar on this particular topic.
Psst.. Biology.
I gonna spare you the pain because the competition I am referring is more on something unrelated to Biology.
So, education is vital for human being.
Knowledge is power and so they say
but why turn it into a fierce battle.
Ranks and numbers are so empowering
rather than true passion and self discovery.
The true essence of  education simply fades.

Yes, I am referring to SBT,SKK,SBP,MRSM,SMK,SMKC,SMKT,SMKA and many more.

I felt a huge barrier between us all. Not that huge but still it somehow promotes unhealthy competition.

Not pointing fingers at any party but you do the thinking.

I am a SBP student and I'm proud of that. Some minds might be saying "of course you should be proud, you're like the chosen one bla bla". Well no, I'm proud because I become a human being rather than just a mere student.

Back then, Our school is banned from joining certain competitions because they can assure our winning. Where is the spirit of competitiveness? Where is the freedom to feel disappointed, challenged, determined? Why classified students according to their schools? Why cultivates equality without embracing differences?

Should I say that is the stigma we really should to get rid of our society.

Objectives of a competition should be reevaluate and judging outlines should be based on that.
It's not about who speak better english for instance, it's about who deliver the most powerful message.
Participants should fight hard regardless the status of rivals. Do research, know your opponents thoughts. Sun Tzu wrote the Art of War not for us to pick who we want to fight but how we gonna fight let it be an empire or a budding sovereign. Fight till your last breath, blood,sweat,tear whatever
That's my idea of competition.
