Apple and Samsung are selling in such high volumes, and they’re vertically integrated more and more, that it’s very, very hard for anyone to compete against Apple and Samsung in the high-volume part of the smartphone or tablet market.
It’s widely assumed that you can’t compete with free, and that seems like a reasonable thing to think. But this has not been my experience.
I said that more people in more places can now compete, connect and collaborate with equal power and equal tools than ever before.

I love to compete.
Being southern and doing bobsled was difficult from the standpoint that I had no idea how to handle the cold and how to dress in the cold, let alone warm up and compete in the cold – so it was a definite shock. I didn’t even own a coat when I first started bobsledding!
I believe that if I can qualify for the Olympics, I have the skills to compete at the highest level and do good for my country.
My father, though, could run very much faster. It was impossible to compete with him on the grass. But it was astonishing how slow old people were. Some of them could not run up a hill and called it trying to climb stairs.
I’m actually sort of shocked that I was able to get a medal in 2014 and really have any of the success I had before because as soon as I came out, it was like a whole new world for me, and I felt so free, so confident, that it’s actually shocking that I was able to compete any other way.
When you compete with good people, it makes everybody better.
A lack of reform – particularly in international tax – has hurt our ability to compete in a global economy by keeping U.S. corporate cash overseas and reducing domestic investment, slowing economic growth.
I was trained in classical piano, but it kind of dawned on me that classical pianists compete for six job openings a year, and the rest of us get to play ‘Blue Moon’ in a hotel lobby.
I’ve carried my chip with me my entire career. I’ve had to fight and claw for every position I’ve had. I sat on the bench as a junior in high school, I had to compete my senior year in high school to get the job. I competed again at Vanderbilt before having success.
You wanted to compete against Michael Jordan, because they were the best. You wanted to beat them. Never once in my mind, I went, ‘I would love to play with him.’ I was always like, ‘Man, we’ve got to beat them.’
What’s been missing from regions outside of Silicon Valley is a ‘playbook.’ In American football, a playbook contains a sports team’s strategies and plays. It struck me that every region needs its own industry playbook on how to compete globally.
When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.
When you’re off the court, that’s when it’s time to talk or whatever you want to do. But once it goes up, it’s time to compete.
We are not going to compete for programs where we do not believe we can get a fair and sufficient return.
The only team that could have competed with us was the Cubans. It’s too bad they’re boycotting. The teams we’re playing just can’t compete with our power.
If I couldn’t compete, I wouldn’t ride. I don’t ride for fun; I ride to prepare for the next competition, and everything that I do when I am in the saddle is always a calculated step in my path to the next win.
I grew up watching LeBron and asking him to follow me back on Twitter, going to his camps. So just to be able to compete against a player like him and be a few shots away from beating him and his team to go to a championship is something I will always remember.
Avoid demonizing television, computer games, and new technologies. Electronic media may compete for kids’ attention, but we’re not going to get kids reading by badmouthing other entertainment. Admit that TV and games can do things books can’t.
There is going to be a major black exit from the Democrat Party, and they are going to actually have to actually compete for their votes in 2020.

Understanding how to compete better has really made a difference.
The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself, The more he gives to others, the more he gets himself. The Way of Heaven does one good but never does one harm. The Way of the sage is to act but not to compete.
Here’s how I see obesity: as a symptom. The larger problem is over-consumption. In a society that identifies consumption with patriotism, valorizes ‘growth’ above all else and assigns status according to how much you consume, we compete with each other to see who can consume the most.
We need to be investing in manufacturing and small businesses. We need to be creating a workforce where Americans can compete in a global marketplace because they have the necessary skills. And we need fairness, and we need a sustainable, strong economy that’s durable for the future.
Governors compete. States compete. People & businesses decide.
These dudes were 30 years old, and they would compete about getting the best chick. That came before their friendships. Some of them treat women like they’re objects. I never felt like that.
I am optimistic about the Philippine future. Yes, the momentum is there. We have to compete in industry and tourism; we’re still weak in industry. We’re good in BPOs and sending workers abroad… I think the future looks good, unless there’s a big recession in the world.
We are going to make people who do some things with Santander into loyal customers who bank with us every day. This is what will allow us to compete in a world where banking customers have more and more choice. If we don’t do this, then we won’t grow in the next decade.
My motivation to compete was always about improving one year to the next. At 34, I realised I’d never run any quicker, so why hang on? But I love running and still run along woodland trails and beaches every few days.
There’s no comparison to competition. You can’t tell yourself truly where you’re at unless you compete in competition.
Markets do not run better when manufacturing shifts to China largely because of the actions of its government. Nor do they become more efficient when Chinese companies are given special privileges in global markets, while American companies must struggle to compete with unfairly traded goods.
I can say that I don’t compete with others and only with myself because I do so many films.
I don’t compete with actresses; I only compete with heroes.
You never compete with the people in your crew; you have your own team. Competition is only with those people whose film is releasing alongside on Friday and never with one’s own team.
At the end of the day that’s why I play the game, to glorify Him in everything I do and to compete for Him.
I like to be just an athlete, but if I go to competition and compete, I love to be a star, maybe.
I am able to compete not because my labour is cheap, but because I can use technology better than others.
I watched World’s Strongest Man growing up on TV and I just loved all of that, so I decided to enter a Strongman contest – just for fun. Really. For no other reason than that I just wanted to compete in something and push myself. I ended up loving it from the get-go and also found that I was very gifted.
My comeback was not about winning or losing; it was about the feeling of being able to compete at top level again.
At 14, you think you compete, you retire and you get a job. I didn’t think gymnastics was a career that was going to change my life.
We can go into the Chinese market, develop the engine, new models of cars. Proton can compete. What is the point of giving the company to foreigners? It will revert to the same situation where foreigners just assemble their cars here. We learn nothing.
My wife and I don’t compete. We know each other’s preferences, and we work to provide those for each other. One will take over when the other is faced with something he or she dislikes. That’s what friends do.
You need to impress me, outwit me, compete with me? Go ahead, knock yourself out, I have no problem with that at all.

I usually eat a pretty big steak the night before I compete.
I don’t think I was ever designed to be a ubiquitous worldwide star. I’m a singer-songwriter writing quite personal songs. You’re not supposed to chuck me on a stage with bells and whistles. There was a struggle ahead after that happened, and perhaps I was trying to write songs to compete in that arena.
To compete with the great teams in Europe, you have to invest money. There is no other way to reach that kind of level.
I hope I will get a chance to compete in the Olympics.
We know that to compete for the jobs of the 21st century and thrive in a global economy, we need a growing, skilled and educated workforce, particularly in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math. Americans with bachelor’s degrees have half the unemployment rate of those with a high school degree.
