RUSH - Why You Need and Love
the Rat Race
Is a book
written by Todd Buchholz where he explains that rush is the race, is the desire
to learn new knowledge’s, to make money, to attain pleasure on what we are and
do and that’s keep us going, keep us running.
Every time
we play a game, we made a competition etc. we have the desire and we try and
want to win that game or competition even if at the end we gain nothing but is
just the idea of feeling better, being better.
We have seen
that the competition between companies keeps us moving, doing much more works and
on time. In big companies also is a method of evaluation of employee and are
done through evaluating “performance” once a year. So every employee is facing
with his/her manager and discussing about what is done, how is done, finished
on time or not the works, did the employee succeeded or if his/her work is
above expectations or not etc (there is a huge procedure to be evaluated
through different points). As I am working in Telecommunication company I will
mention how rush is nowadays being part of these type of companies much more
than before by entering the market the offer of number portability (you can
change the carrier without changing the number).
I liked
very much sayings of the book as below:
The worst
thing you can do for your kid is to let the ninth place team take home a
trophy.
Competition
within companies is great for the company and for morale.
yes without competition there no new , no innovation , no customer care after sale , we will return back to communism , one party , one company , no choice but the competition is a new energy for the life
YanıtlaSilI also liked very much the saying that you mentioned. Because, that trophy would hurt the feelings of a winner and destroy feelings of lost that race, as there is no nine place ever. In fact, i totally agree with your comment. In our country, for 50 years people lived in a country without having the competition as a value of their own. People had the same clothes, the same hunger, the same model of houses and mainly the same furniture... and this did not make them feel happy at all. i would suggest that our case is the example to illustrate the importance of competition. No progress, no innovation, no benefit, just standardizing, and making things seem a uniform is not the solution to be successful.
YanıtlaSilAnd, reading you blog, makes it easy to understand the importance of this run, even in Albania. You picked the example of telecommunication, and i think it is a proper one, as we all can see the very fast innovation and development of this sector just because of competition.
