Competition helps us remain sharp. We know what we have to do to gain or keep our advantage.
Without competition, we wouldn't necessarily try as hard to be good, and the market would suffer. Competition helps everyone. It helps us be the best, it gives our customers a clear choice, and it create value for the consumer.
Yesterday's baseball game between the Yankees and the Red Sox brought this out in dramatic fashion. Both teams are good in their own right. If they never played each other, they might not how good they are or how good they need to be.
Baseball scores are usually measured in single digits, such as 4-0, 5-3, or even 1-0. A "wild game" might be 7-1.
The Red Sox and Yankees posted a football-like score yesterday and kept finding the reserves to bounce back after being down. The final score was 16-11 in favor of the Red Sox.
Yes, competition does help to bring out the best in us.
