So, with today's trends in education to prohibit personal responsibility and to 
shelter the youngsters from the negative aspects of competition, does that mean 
we  can look forward to a standstill in radio, since you stated:

If they can't play competitive sports because their delicate personalities might 
get injured, how can we expect them to enter a contest where they might not 
win?

All of the improvements are direct result of competition?  So none of them were 
made simply to satisfy the creator, or give him/her what he/she wanted that was 
not driven by competition?

There are most likely a small number of folks who go about life meeting or 
exceding their own standards, and don't gague their happiness or suceess on the 
basis of "beating" someone else.
