I have come to believe that competition in sports is a concept that All understand. We know and demand that winning is the result of competition without acommodation and without artifical enhancements. We enjoy sports more when it is "fair" and or conducted in adherence to a specific set of rules that prevent "cheating". Participants are divided into weight classes or other divisions as needed to allow each to have a reasonable chance of winning. Within each class, participants are necessarily required to practice practice practice and train train train to hone their skills to have the best chance of success. If the sports competition system were any different, if the winner wasn't selected through merit and achievement, it would be less enjoyable and less entertaining. We simply wouldn't value or watch it.

So the question is why do we not apply this same approach to life and business?

In business as it is in sports, our work is service and benefit to our fellow man. The fruits of that service is typically money as a mechanism to store that work for us to save until we use it to compensate our fellow man for his service unto us.

In modern society we all have the freedom to choose our preferred method of service to our fellow man. Our fellow man has the choice of consuming or not consuming our service. The consumer chooses the level of consumption, and compensation he is willing to pay. This reality leads to the server being motivated to provide a high quantity of a highly valued service to the best of his ability. In this system, every unit of money /dollar won in service to our fellow man contains the value of the hard work and struggle we output to obtain it. That hard work associated with each unit makes each dollar precious and to be spent with deliberation to obtain the greatest quantity of high value service from others. The fruits of our labor should not be spent frivilously lest it devalue the struggle associated with its acquisition.

This post was intended to be and is about the danger of acommodations and assistance from one to another in the competition in the business of life.

Should we as a society make acommodations and give assistance to "the disadvantaged" or "the underserved"?
Does assistance help or harm the recipient? Are we helping in the best way possible? I will say that we should help others. We should however strive to help in ways that help the recipient become self sufficient. We should strive to help those who will best benefit from that assistance.

I suggest that any assistance should be necessarily in the form of teaching and training to raise a recipients skills as needed to achieve self sufficiency. Teach how to serve. Teach how to work. Teach a man to fish. I also suggest that assistance in the form of money is dangerous as it only temporarily satisfies the recipients need to obtain service. Giving money denies the recipients skill development and denies the pain associated of skill acquisition that seers in the skill and gives value to the money received. Assistance in the form of money seers in an easy come easy go mentality in the spending of money and stored work.

I assert that giving assistance in the form of money actually may psycologically harm both the recipient and provider. Does this monetary transfer reinforce the idea that the recipient is less than or less abled or just less than the provider or benefactor? Does it psycologically make the benefactor feel superior or more abled than the recipient?

Wow this is pretty long and rambling.
Maybe Dunn Kruger is not a writer. Dunn Kruger does not need monetary compensation for this deficiency. Dunn Kruger needs practice and skill development.

Let me try to wrap up the point.

Unless we are in professions where strength or size is a requirement, success is dependent on training of the brain and the skill of the hands. Success is then available to all regardles of race, gender, ethnicity, beauty, political affiliation, or any other determiner. Your body is just a brain transporter. Training the brain and motivating the body is the key to success.

Let's consider education and skill acquisition as a sport. Let's consider your teacher or mentor as your coach and trainer. Let's study and train hard and long to become the smartest and best skilled. Let's make our service unto others as highly valued and highly sought after as possible. Let us store our service as money to gain wealth and spend it with deliberation to satisfy our needs and eliminate any need for assistance. Let's compete to raise both our skills and the skills of our competitors. When we all strive for merit and excellence in all that we do, everyone wins. So what are we waiting for? Let's all get in the game!

This is a Dunn Kruger Opinion.
