Depends on your state of mind at the time of reading this post :)
ReplyDeleteVery true. I must add, however, that there are winners and there are losers in most aspects of life, the trick is to understand which one you are more comfortable being.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about that0 winners celebrate, slap themselves on the back, pose for pictures...
ReplyDeleteif I play a competitive game like cards or heaven forbid, Monopoly, I hate winning AND losing. There's a condrum.
Very true! I think the real "winners" are those who find nothing from outside compel them to "achieve", rather, their actions are motivated from inside, and this kind of tasks compete with nobody, thus they feel always fulfilled.
ReplyDeleteWinning and losing...another brilliant example of "either/or" logic. Competition is the antithesis of individuality.
ReplyDeleteLove that response. I'm with Helena!
DeleteAren't we all winners and losers?
ReplyDeleteGood point Michelle.
ReplyDeleteWe are definitely a mix.
Cheers, ic
Good one Marty, it goes along well with something I have been saying for years "Losers hate to lose."
ReplyDeleteeach moment i played i learnt how to play better,no push can make me embaress ,no fall can shake my faith because they are my teachers who lead me to my best,
ReplyDeleteA very interesting point. There is real winners in life, and competition only creates losers, and the sheer fact that there ARE losers, means we all lose.
ReplyDeleteThe person I compete most with is myself. And even when things don't work out, I can usually find something of value in the experience, even if the win is small. As for regular games, I lose a lot when playing against my little girl. But I win even more from the time spent together.
ReplyDeleteThinking that you're gonna fail, that makes you a loser. If you aim to achieve your goals, you're a winner whether you achieve them or not. Just so long as you tried with the full intention of winning.
ReplyDeletebeing a loser is not necessarily a bad thing :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think we need to undermine others to help cause their failure so that we can win. Nor do we have to root for the failure of others so that we can win.
ReplyDeleteJust my thoughts on being gracious to others and having faith, because I believe there is enough success in anything for all of us to share, if we choose to believe that.
Not to mention the good feeling we have within, when we embrace the joy and happiness of others, along with our own.
Well, I think there are winners and there are losers, but I even losers can be winners.
