香港的年輕人之間流行的「核心價值」,大抵可以分幾類。首先「競爭族」,他們相信競爭,相信遊戲規則不可改變的中產價值,情況就像那些被大學各學系吹捧出來的傑出畢業生——一畢業後就加入投資銀行,賺4萬多元月薪那種。他們認為,社會是不可被改變的,所以你要不就留下來跟這個社會死過,要不就自動的離開。而且,他們沒有對或錯,只有成功和失敗。他們認為,只要你夠成功,做什麼錯事都不會有事。你看看?李永達曾在立法會中說過:買叉燒呃秤都要畀人拉,買樓呃秤就冇人理。只要你夠大,就沒有什麼可以說。林海峰在電台節目中說,看到陳志雲的新聞,想:「為什麼是陳志雲?」其中一個「競爭族」的友人跟我說:「陳志雲為什麼會被ICAC搞(他用搞,不用拉,或拘捕)?因為他不是政協囉!」對啊對啊,對啊對啊,競爭族相信,他們都相信if you are big enough, bad enough,做什麼都可以。Do people with 競爭族 (competition-oriented believers) characteristics exist among us? Competition fosters motivation, encourages humans to work hard(er) and improves efficiency. This theory holds true under the assumption that the system is entirely driven by the market and only by the market itself. Whenever there is a system in place to regulate market forces, it then must do equity by ensuring the society is operating under full meritocracy.

Shouldn't we learn to look beyond beating the system and learn to work on improving it, shaping it the way that is better for everyone?
