Can Competition Go Too Far?

"Competition brings out the best in products and the worst in people," once said by David Sarnoff. Some agree with a little competition, competeing with one another, to keep people striving to get better at a task. If this world lacked competition, we would all be equal, but not always in a good way.  (Quotation)
Competeing, local businesses are able to live off of commission from more products than other businesses whom have the same product at a larger price. In the terms of business, there will always be competition because that is what has to happen in order to sell your product. For example, almost every gas station in the same town may have gas prices that are very close to being the same but there will always be that one with the lowest prices who wins the competition.
Most people think of sports when the word "competition" is used. There should be competition in sports, just as much as there is in marketing because when there's someone or something that is better than you at something, you'll work as hard as you can to become better than them. For example, the Patriots won the super bowl over the Falcons, so now the Falcons will strive harder to not let that happen again.
Had there be no competition, everyone would be equal. All businesses would be the exact same and people wouldn't feel like they should go to the "cheapest" store and sport teams wouldn't be fun to watch if someone isn't trying to win. Competition is a very big part in the world today and can never be taken too far. (Echo the intro)

Where I see myself in the future

When I think of my future, I picture myself taking over the family salon. I've wanted to be a cosmetologist, someone who does hair and makeup, for years now. I hope to make men and women feel better about their appearance by giving them the look they want. It's very exciting to know I will begin my dream career in just a little over a year from now.

Having a family has always been important to me. Thinking of the future, being a cosmetologist sounds even more promising considering I get to make my very own hours. I will never have to worry about missing any school parties, sports, or if I have a sick child. You never know what life might throw at you, so having a flexible schedule is a major plus.

My Aunt Megan has got to be my biggest inspiration for helping me realize being a cosmetologist is what I truly want to be for the rest of my life. She has taught me just about everything there is to know on how to run a salon, spa, and boutique. I've grown up in the family salon and have watched not only her, but also several other girls who have also inspired me. I will take these lessons and use them to be successful in my own career.

Not everyone knows for sure what they want to do in their future, but that has never been a question for me. They say find out what you love to do, and go for it, and I have found what I love. I'm determined to show up at my own salon and not feel like I'm "working," that I'm just having fun. I can hardly wait to begin beauty school.
