Winning is Everything!??

I'm sure you've heard the words, "Winning is Everything" but is it really true? A little thought experiment can prove that winning is really not everything. Try to imagine a picture of you winning,  it could be you receiving a trophy in a sports competition, or receiving a huge amount of money from a lottery, or receiving a medal for academic achievement, or it could be just waking away after giving your neighbor a piece of your mind leaving him silent and shocked, or it could be anything. Now try to imagine a picture of your integrity and reputation, will you trade your integrity and reputation for a trophy? or cash? or medal? or a chance to shock and awe your neighbor? Which is more important to you - your integrity and reputation or winning? If you choose the later then let's go to the next category: imagine your family or love one, it could be your father or mother or brother or your sister or your child or everyone. Now will you trade any of them for  personal glory? or piece of gold? Probably not. What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but losses his own soul? Nothing.

Don't get me wrong winning is important but it's all there is.
