Their joy is not so much in winning as in defeating the other. Most often moral values are sacrificed in this process of competition. In a competitive world, no success is success. Hence we compare. Parents compare their children with one another, their child’s progress with another child’s progress. This comparison quite often leads to depression and eventually self defeat. ‘Suicide accounts for the major ratio of deaths among the teenagers’ noted a social scientist. Competition leads to individualism which is a deadly virus in society. To counter this virus of individualism we need to foster a counter cultural value in our educational system – Cooperation as opposed to competition. The purpose of all education is precisely this value of cooperation. Our strength is in our TEAMWORK. Every student at St Joseph’s Indian High School and PU College needs to have a mindset “I AM A TEAM”. If all the students have this mindset, we will never feel alone, never feel let down, never feel depressed, will never be individualistic and never isolated. We do not work for our own selfishness and self interest.
