人往高处走,水往低处流。人都有弃旧求新、弃小求大、离低就高的渴望和追求。就是说,获得更真、更善、更美的东西,力求更成功、更卓越、更伟大,这就是人的竞争性。马克思曾以英法两国工人为例充分肯定人的这种竞争性,他说:“要理解这个运动中人的高尚性,就必须知道英法两国工人对科学的向往,对知识的渴望,他们的道德力量和他们对自已发展的不倦的要求。”(《马恩全集》第2卷第107页) Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position. People have to abandon the old innovation, abandoning small seeking big, from low to high desire and pursuit. In other words, it is human competitiveness to obtain something more real, better and more beautiful, and strive to be more successful, more outstanding and more magnificent. Marx fully affirmed this kind of competitiveness by taking the workers in Britain and France as an example. He said: “To understand the noble character of this movement, we must know the workers’ longing for science and the desire for knowledge in Britain and France, Their moral power and their tireless demands for self-development. ”(“ The Complete Works of Marn ”Vol 2, p 107)
