Is Winning Everything?

Have you ever heard of the phrase, “Winning is Everything?” To some people, winning us considered “everything”, but others couldn’t care less. There are many famous people who believe that winning is everything, but others who just choose to be a good sport, and succeed in life. If winning is everything, then so is losing. But then again, winning shows that you worked hard, but losing makes you work harder. Winning could mean a lot of things, especially in sports, self confidence, and quotes; but it doesn’t mean everything.

If you play a sport, you obviously want to win, but also, fair sportsmanship is an important part. If you are too competitive, the team against you might become the same way, and even your teammates might start to dislike you, and the way that you play. Although you may argue that you never see the loser smiling, but the loser actually has a better chance of winning the next game, because every loser wins by learning something every time they lose. Are you capable of being a loser, and learn or a winner and brag?

What is the difference between self confidence and overconfidence? Self confidence is when you believe in yourself, and overconfidence is when you know that you will win, and when you know that the others will lose. You should be confident in what you are doing, but you shouldn’t be overconfident. Overconfidence can lead to misunderstandings towards friends and family. As you can see, you should not be an overconfident sport.

“Good sportsmanship is not picking up a golf ball while it is still rolling”, ~Mark Twain. Mark Twain knew that you should be a good sport, not a bad one. If you understand this quote, you can understand what it feels like to the person who receives bad sportsmanship. As you can see, good sportsmanship is an important part of winning and losing.

Many people argue that second place us the first loser, but second place actually means that you tried your hardest and winning second place can mean a lot. As you can see, maybe you should think before you act, especially when winning and losing us involved.
