Re: Exploring The 'We're All Winners' Concept
If we all really believed that 'we are all winners', it makes us a bunch of sappy reach-for-the-star losers.
There is a reason why we call this a Competition, a reason why FIRST was modeled after sports (I so listen to Dean's speaches), and a reason why we give out trophies: Some will be victorious, and everyone else will go home with a humiliating showing and/or defeat.
But here is the thing - FIRST is not just a competition, not just a sport and not just a trophy case. When I hear "We are all winners", I always try to believe that they are talking about the people-side of FIRST. Because in that side, yes, we are all winners.
And the small text in my signature can be applied to this too.
