Are you a winner?

Are you a winner, probably not, but does it matter? I mean, if you have fun, it is worth more than winning, right? No, your wrong, if winning wasn’t everything, why would they have a scoreboard? I believe that winning is everything.

One reason winning is everything is the happiness that comes with it. What’s more fun, walking home with a hat that says “2014 World Series champions”, or a box of tissues to clean up the waterworks. I was once on a basketball team when we didn’t win any games at all, not one. But when we finally won our first game, we were cheering and screaming “We won, we did it!” We were extremely jubilant when we won, which proves that winning isn’t everything. Although people think that winning isn’t everything, people wouldn’t care so much if winning wasn’t everything.

In some cases, winning has to be everything. During a war, if you don’t win, you either die or you get conquered by your enemy. In those cases, if your mentality isn’t “winning is everything,” then you will lose. Another example of that is betting. If you bet $20 on something, then if you don't win, then you lose your money, so in that case, winning is everything. Although people think that winning always isn’t everything, they need to take in consideration of wars and betting.

Some people may think that when people win, they don’t learn to try harder, but I disagree. If you win, that means that you don’t need to work harder, just work the same amount because you won using that strategy. When you see a player talking during a postgame press conference, they don’t say “We won, so we need to try harder to win next time,” no, they say “We did a great job today, we should come out in the next game and do the same thing.” Maybe if you lose, you might try harder, but if you win, you don’t not learn a lesson.

Even though some people think that winning isn’t everything, these three reasons prove them wrong. When you win, happiness comes along with it and sometimes winning has to be everything. On top of that, when you win, people think you don’t learn to try, but you shouldn’t try more when you win because you are good enough. No ask yourself this question, are you a winner?
