Winning is not important... Participation is more important... Learning & experience from participating is everything... Results don't matter... Efforts matter...
Winning is NOT everything - Winning is the ONLY thing!!!
Nobody remembers who came second!!!
Only Results matter - Efforts have no value
I think, without a doubt, that in these times the final score is more important than the performance.
I never thought of doing anything in which I didn't plan to win or do my best. I hadn't always won; so winning can't be everything. But if winning isn't everything, why do we like winning so much? Why do we like hanging out with winners and avoid losers like the plague?
I have yet to meet people who come up to me and say, "Hey ratnesh, all this winning isn't what it's cracked up to be; let's try losing a few games".
That has never happened even once. There's no denying it, We like to win.
But WHY?
The answer I believe can be found in this quote by Joe Namath. "When you win nothing hurts."
and the opposite is just as true, "When we lose everything hurts."
Therefore, we want to win because it makes us feel good.
The only people who think otherwise haven't experienced the thrill of victory and have been dulled to such feelings by continually losing.
So winning may not be everything, but the desire to win is! Without the drive to win, there is no reason or motivation to practice, to work harder or to do that little extra that will make the difference.
It is the desire to win that compels us to practice when others have quit. It is the desire to win that makes us put in extra hours after everyone else has gone home. It is the desire to win that compels us to go the extra mile.
And we desire to win because everyone loves a WINNER.

Friends - never let your desire to Win - go dim - personally or professionally...
If you don't desire - you can never Win!!!
