#competing

When resources are degraded, we start competing for them, whether it is at the local level in Kenya, where we had tribal clashes over land and water, or at the global level, where we are fighting over water, oil, and minerals. So one way to promote peace is to promote sustainable management and equitable distribution of resources. ↗

The atmosphere at my school was very competitive. Young girls were competing with each other every day for status, for leadership, for the affection of the teachers. I hated it. ↗

I wasn't thinking of competing with any artists as such, I was more thinking of being among them, and sharing thoughts with them; like sharing views, ideas, etc. ↗

For my father, being kind was natural... I have to really work at it. I love competing and winning, conquest - not words you usually associate with kindness. ↗

These days you're not just competing with the tedium, you're competing with the cellphone. ↗
