没有了对手和较量，没有了危机和竞争，任何事物都会因松懈而倦怠，从而走向颓废甚至灭亡。关于这个警句的故事很耐人寻味：一个参加过二战的英国老兵去日本旅游，看到3个日本孩子在玩一种叫“生存”的游戏，一张一张卡片上分别有虎、狼、狗、羊、鸡、猎人等图案，三个孩子各执一副。游戏规则是：虎能通吃，但两个猎人可以打死一只虎;一个猎人可以打死一只狼，但两只狼可以吃掉一个猎人;虎和狼都被消灭后，一只羊能吃掉一只狗。他大惑不解，怎么会有这样的逻辑?日本孩子的回答是：“虎和狼都没了，狗就会处在放松状态，这时，不但羊能吃掉它，两只鸡也能将它消灭。没有了对手和较量，没有了危机和竞争，任何事物都会因松懈而倦怠，从而走向颓废甚至灭亡——我们的教科书上就是这么写的!”

no opponent and fight, not a crisis and competition, everything will loose burnout, thereby to decadence and even death. this story is about a afford much food for thought: a world war ii veteran british travel to japan, saw 3 japanese children playing a game called" survival", a piece of card respectively, tiger, wolf, dog, sheep, chicken, hunter and other patterns, three children each hold one vice. the rules of the game are: tiger can sweep the deck, but the two hunters killed a tiger; a hunter can kill a wolf, but two wolf can eat a hunter; tigers and wolves have been eliminated, a sheep can eat a dog. he be not a little bewildered, how can there be such a logic? japanese children 's answer is:" tiger and wolf are gone, the dog will be in a relaxed state, then, not only sheep can eat it, two chickens can also destroy it. no opponent and fight, not a crisis and competition, everything will loose burnout, thereby to decadence and even death in our textbook -- it's written on!"

同学们，多么发人深思、催人警醒啊!正是有了危机和竞争意识，日本，这个资源极度贫乏、人口众多的岛国，才会在二战的废墟上迅速崛起，一跃成为世界经济强国!

the students, what provide much material for thought, urge a person vigilant! it is a crisis and sense of competition, the japanese, the exceeding and poor natural resources, a large population of the island, only the ruins of the rapid rise in world war ii, become world economy powerful nation!

竞争，是一种精神。每当我们看到体育场上运动健将们奋力拼搏的时候，我们无不为之感动，为之振臂高呼。使我们为之感动，为之高呼的是运动员勇往直前、不甘落后的精神，如果没有这种精神，体育将失去其真正的意义。同样，如果没有这种精神，将变得毫无生气。有了竞争意识，人才会有顽强的生命力。龟兔第一次赛跑，由于兔子骄傲自满而惨遭失败，而在第二次赛跑时它能急起直追，终于反败为胜。因此，可以这么说，兔子的失败，是因为没有竞争;兔子反败为胜，是因为有了竞争。
