Essay:
This issue about the highest goal for life or career is such a big topic for discussion. Most of us may consider happiness and gratification as our final goal of life, and a career. And every single person is on the way of chasing happiness all through his life. Therefore, we may wonder: what can bring out the happiness to us, to complete or to cooperate? While in some situations I concede competition can lead to some happiness of life, I agree with the speaker about the highest goal for life is learning to cooperate.
In order to achieve our goals, sometimes we are forced to compete against others. After all, no one wants to lose. Different people may have different considerations and of different interests, therefore leading to a situation that they cannot cooperate with each other. Also, there may be in poor communication between each. Therefore, people may presumes others in a opposite position to them and plan for the worst like the game theory----people can be mean and self-fish after all. In such situations, we regard others as our rivals and compete against them for our profits. At the same time, we develop our skills and grow in the competition process. In this light, competition is always part of life and sometimes brings about the good to us.
However, in a most broad sphere, I have to say there is nothing better than cooperation. After all, we are all human beings, sharing the same features both in physics and the common ideas about life. If we can fully understand each other and cooperate with each other, there could be few conflicts around the world. Warfare and deceptions are out of the barrier for understanding, out of the desire of isolation of oneself against others. If we can manage to consider others as our families and friends, try to love them, help them, and understand them, there could be no wars and conflicts any more. In a game of red and black, people are made to choose something favorable for themselves and favorable for the whole. They may be too blinded by overvaluing their own profits to detect the second choice therefore choose to favor themselves only but not cooperate with each other. Some people also call this prisoner dilemma, but actually this reflects a truth that if we can cooperate with each other, the benefit for us could be maximized. Cooperation also brings peace and joy to people when we see the smiles of our partners. Life can be fulfilled with happiness in this way, although it is always too difficult for us to truly trust others and consider others as our friends regarding of the painful betray.
In retrospect, on the way to happiness, every person tries to make the right choice. Although sometimes people consider competition can be the best strategy to achieve the goal for short, in fact, I believe cooperation is the way leading to a common beneficial end. We learn to love and trust, benefit from the cooperation of each others. Even if we are betrayed by the noncooperation of our friend, we can learn to be tolerant and reach the gratification by forgiving them.
