Winning Is Only Half Of It

Winning is only half of it. What I mean by this is that when you are playing a sport and you win, its just half of it because the other half is too have fun. Do you think winning is everything. From my opinion I don’t. Winning isn't everything to me. Whenever I hear this quote it gives me the chills because winning isn't everything. Some people think that you don’t get anywhere in life without winning and that is not true. Believe it or not there are a few people in this world that think that is true. In my case, winning is only half of it.

One reason why I think winning isn't everything is that its okay if you lose as long as you try your best! For example my basketball team and I were playing against Bound Brook and they had a really tall girl on there team that could shoot three pointers and it was really hard to defend her because she was so tall. My team thought it was unfair, but we tried our best. I mean we found out later that this girl was in seventh grade and we were only in sixth grade, it was really unfair but it depended how old you were not your grade. They had a really big advantage. If you're one of those teams that lost, don’t worry one day you will improve you skills and get revenge on them. Teams may be conceited that they won, but at least you gave it all you've got.

Another reason why I think winning isn't everything is you can learn lessons from losing. My grandma once said if no one ever loses or makes mistakes in the world than what is life, life is about learning from your mistakes and making them better, no ones perfect. Learning lessons is not bad its to just work on your weak parts in this sport or activity. I have never seen anybody who is perfect, trust me I wouldn’t want to either. If you didn’t learn a lesson then the world will be a much different place.

The last reason why I think that winning isn't everything is because isn't losing better than cheating. Do you think cheating is fair? Its worse than getting a 0 on a test. If you think losing is bad, what about cheating, you never know maybe the other team may of cheated. Anything is possible. Cheating is the worst in a game especially when the other team is cheating and your team is playing the fairway like you're supposed to. If anybody that I played against on, cheated I would be so mad that I could punch a dent into metal. Cheating is the worst of all.

Even though you've tried your best, learned lessons, and people might cheat its okay to lose. Everything happens for a reason at least thats what thay say. Remember to try your best because maybe you will win against a very good team or maybe you will win against a cheating team. Just know that winning is only half of it.
