It is important to have a rival but,he is not your enemy

A successful person needs to have a rival so that he can know where he actually stands.A rival is someone who tries to achieve the same thing that you are trying to achieve and therefore,he has a competition with you to achieve that thing.If a person has a rival then he will work hard every time to perform better than him every time and try to stay one step ahead of him.Hence,in this attempt a person always keeps on succeeding because he is working hard in his field.Though a rival is a competition for you but,he is not your enemy.When you are outside the field where both of you compete,you guys are good friends.A successful man keeps his person and professional lives away from each other.Pokemon displayed this thing in a great manner.In Pokemon,Ash had a rival named "Gary" who was professor Oak's grandson.Both of them started their journey together.They were the biggest rivals.Gary's success motivated Ash to work hard and achieve more badges and victories in order to go ahead of Gary.This really helped him to succeed in his journey.Though they were rivals but,they were not enemies.They helped each other when the situations demanded.Ash and Gary cared for each other.This shows the importance of a rival in life and also that a rival is not an enemy.
