Classic inspirational story: strong opponent is a blessing

Sometimes it is a blessing to have a strong competitor.
In the beautiful Hokkaido, Japan, a very delicious squid is produced. Many fishermen in the seaside fishing villages make a living by catching squid. However, the life of this precious squid is particularly fragile. Once it leaves the deep sea, it is easy to die. For this reason, the squid caught by the fishermen are often dead.
In the village, there is an old fisherman who goes out to catch the sea every day. After returning to the shore, his squid is always alive and kicking, and there are few dead. The other fishermen who went out to sea together made a trick, and the returning bank was still a dead squid. Because the carp live less, it is natural that the squid can live, and the price of live squid is several times that of dead squid. So in the same years, the old fishermen became famous rich people at that time, and other fishermen could only maintain simple food and clothing.
After a long time, the fishing village even began to rumor that the old fishermen had some magical power to keep the carp in life.
Just before the old fishermen died, he decided to make the secrets public. In fact, the old fishermen do not have any magic power. The way he makes the squid not die is very simple. In the squid caught, add a few fish called pike. The pike is not the same kind of squid, but also the "dead rival" of squid. When faced with a large number of "opponents", several pikes were panicked and stalked in the squid pile, which provoked the strong fighting spirit of the squid, and the squid of a ship was like this. Activated.
The introduction of several "opponents" will bring a boat squid back to life, and the practice of the old fishermen is not surprising. In real life, places where there is no competition are often a pool of stagnant water. Once there is competition, people are highly motivated and passionate. This is where the power of competition lies.
