1. Competitiveness is defined as the ability of companies to compete while maintaining or improving the average standard of living. If you are cutting wages to become more competitive, that’s not really more competitive. It’s raising the skill and the efficiency of those workers so that they can support and sustain that higher wage.-Michael Porter
2. Competitive toughness is an acquired skill and not an inherited gift.-Chris Evert
3. Competitive strategy is about being different. It means deliberately choosing a different set of activities to deliver a unique mix of value.-Michael Porter
4. We were very aggressive, and when we’re aggressive, it’s hard to stop us.-Kerri Walsh
5. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.-Vince Lombardi
