happiness Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 "A rational man knows that one does not live by means of "luck," "breaks" or favors, that there is no such thing as an "only chance" or a single opportunity, and that this is guaranteed precisely by the existence of competition. He does not regard any concrete, specific goal or value as irreplaceable." How does competition guarantee that there will be more than one opportunity to achieve a particular value, and if one holds a particular job as being more desirable than all others, why wouldn't he consider it irreplaceable?
