        　　>It has often been thought that completion could be either beneficial or harmful to friendship. When you compete too much with your friends, it could mean the end of a good relationship. In any case, you ought to learn well how to distinguish what is healthy competition between friends and what is not.
>More often than not, there is nothing wrong with healthy competition between friends. For example, when you play sports or games and try to beat your friend, competition is normal and natural. This type of competition is healthy because, win or lose, both friends could enjoy it in good humor. Further, betting on which team will win is also a healthy way to compete between friends, without causing resentment and conflict whatever. Generally speaking, positive competition would do you good, motivating you to work harder and strive for more. When in doubt at this point, it is always inspirational to recall the teaching of Confucius: "Friends are more beneficial who are better than you, one way or another." *（注：无友不如己者）
>Trying to be better than your friends at everything might not be so healthy, though. There are several ways in which a friendship could be severely damaged by competition, invariably mixed with rage and/or jealousy. Sometimes, such negative emotions might turn out to be too overwhelming to be swallowed. One sure way to corrupt friendship is when two friends happen to find something they might both want so badly that they could not share peacefully, but opt to compete in a mood of pride and superiority. It is easy to tell that non-healthy examples of competition between friends include: who has the best clothes, the best place to live and the best car. Thus, if you want to keep your friendship healthy, you must try to stop this type of behavior.
>Accordingly, if you want to keep friendship alive, it is important to enjoy healthy competition and avoid unhealthy competion. The right thing to do, then, is to keep competition positive, if possible at all. You may now ask yourself this question: given that unhealthy completion between friends is permanent, could friendship as you know it last forever?
