One always wins when one plays for the love of the game.

  2. One wins when they feel pride in what they accomplished regardless of what others think.

  3. You are right about this. Playing the game is always fun.

  4. I totally agree with you, so long as it is a solo event.

    Being the lowest aspiring member of a team on the other hand...

    Probably why I am not so into team sports.

  5. It essentially conveys the message of universal brotherhood. Great aphorism, as always.

  6. Absolutely! My husband, who's a natural-born athlete, detested team sports because of the competition. Walked off the football team in high school when he'd finally had enough of it. It's a shame that we measure success in terms of competition, acquisitions, and getting ahead in life, instead of having fun in life and enjoying ourselves while we're living it!

  7. I like that aphorism, Marty, and it can be applied to most anything in life!

  8. My mom always told me, "do what you love and you'll always be happy." That certainly sounds like a win to me.

  9. When you play for the love of the game you always win 'cos you love it - It's a great thought Marty - especially as I will be starting rehearsals in a week's time, followed by a tour
