QUOTES ON COMPETITION
`…the unlimited ruthless competition which deprives everybody of a feeling of security, makes many in our healthy nation sick; not only those who are unsuccessful in competition, but also those who are most successful.’ (Paul Tillich, 1955 as quoted B K Chatterjee in `The Other Side of Competition, Growth, vol. 29, No. 1, April-June, 2001, p. 15)
QUOTES ON COMPETITION…
`We need to throw overboard the idea that competition is a necessary way of life. In place of competition, we need cooperation.’
(Deming as quoted B K Chatterjee in `The Other Side of Competition, Growth, vol. 29, No. 1, April-June, 2001, p. 15)
QUOTES ON COMPETITION
`The more I study history I find the idea of competition to be wrong…. The day will come when men will study history from a different light and find that competition is neither the cause nor the effect, simply a thing on the way, not necessary to evolution at all.’ (Swami Vivekananda, “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, Vol. 8, p. 213)
QUOTES ON COMPETITION
`Everything that has selfishness for its basis, competition as its right hand, and enjoyment as its goal, must die sooner or later. Such things must die’.
(Swami Vivekananda, “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, Vol. 8, p. 213)
