A Winning Attitude Trumps The Trophy

Winning is important. It helps us feel accomplished and successful. However, what is more important is how we win. With victory comes the spoils, but when we exercise our victory in gloating or causing others to shrink in shame we may lose more than just friends. Competition helps us to exercise our ambition, and hopefully teaches us the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie. Always thank those with whom you compete . Learn from those who beat you. Never forget that winning or losing does not make you a winner or a loser. For often times you learn more by losing than you do by winning. Losing hurts, but being a bad sport kills. A winning attitude trumps the trophy.
