Re: Exploring The 'We're All Winners' Concept

First off, Great topic Jane.

To me "we're all winners" is a cop out and says it's OK to fail and not look to improve. Failure is a part of nature, we all fail at some point, and it's how we deal with these failures that will ultimately determine how well we will do in the endevors of our lives.

With my team we celebrate our successes and review our failures to see where we can improve. Basically putting the negative energy of 'failure' into a positive action 'improving'. Saying "we are all winners" removes the need to improve.

In the end, I believe that "we're all winners" does a disservice to those it's told to, because it lets people 'feel good' at the expense of bettering themselves.

The above is, as usual, JMHO.
