Exploring The 'We're All Winners' Concept

[Molten]

I think winning is like GP, its for each to decide on their own.

If at the end of the day, I feel like I won...I did. If I feel like I lost, I did. If this is true, what is the point in winning? Why don't we set really low goals just to feel like we won? Because, if we set goals too low, it doesn't matter if we achieve them. Most of us will still feel like losers.

If I 'win' a trophy through an underhanded move, I lost. But if I 'lose' for doing the right thing, I won.

Winning can only be accessed by the individual. Some may choose to use trophies as a measurement tool. Others choose learning. While some of us just choose to go with the moral goals.

The notion of "we're all winners" is largely flawed because it places one person judging the success or failure of another without regards to the individuals goal.

And for those of you who may wonder, my goals in FIRST are simple:

1. Teach
2. Motivate
3. Watch
4. Have fun
5. Be a role model

If I feel I accomplished one of these goals in a season, I succeeded. If I accomplish all 5, I win.
