Experience says that life gives us whatever we ask for

Experience says that life gives us whatever we ask for;sooner or later we achieve it. Here we are talking about success.Success is defined as ‘the achievement of a desired aim’ by the dictionary. This achievement is generally by the means of terms like hard work,determination,perseverance, commitment etc.But is this all that works in practical situations?
Let’s get real and talk about what happens actually. It’s the age of competition.The dictionary defines competition as ‘an act of beating other participants’ and competition leads to success. In order to succeed, it is very important for an individual to work hard and reach the top.But this statement is incomplete without adding that his work or the final product must be ‘better than everyone else around’. Only the winner is considered and not the one who just works hard. So then success means something which is achieved by the winner in a competition where a lot of other members are involved.
Generally what happens in such competitions is that instead of trying hard to deliver their best performance the participants try harder to make sure the other members don’t deliver and loose the game. It always presents a simple example of pulling others down on order to create an illusion of one’s reaching the top.
I was taught that envy is the only reason why we have been punished by god. Envy is something which is tough to get rid of but once we do that we achieve the highest order of humanity. But how without envy is a person supposed to succeed when we say that competition is necessary for success? Whenever we need to make sure that we win we also have to keep and eye on our competitors and keep a check on what they do. When ever we work hard for winning and someone else takes home the crown we cannot be very happy about it. So then we are being envious.
I have discussed this with a lot of people and in majority’s opinion it is ok to have a healthy competition and after the wining part is over things tend to become normal because at the end of the day everyone is a part of a team and is working for the success of the team.
But I personally feel that when only hard work is all we have put in the race for success the satisfaction level is highest and when we have resorted to some other means the level of pride exceeds the level of negligible satisfaction. And at the end of the day I think the moment an individual starts being satisfied with what he has and is only desiring to get more for giving some other life a better purpose should he consider going to any extent for achieving success just to help his purpose. At that moment he will consider only hard work as means of success.

Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what happens to him
