I’ve read many books on success etc. I also had a preconceived version of what I thought a winner was before I read any. I used to think that being a winner was exactly what it sounds like: Winning at everything. Or at least, winning at what you put your mind to. But what exactly is winning? Think of that movie Driven, or Cars, where it’s about racing, so the objective is to come 1st right? Well what about when one of your friends crashes on the track and no one can get to them to help them – do you stop to go back? Does that mean you “lose”? Or is keeping a friend more important?

If all winning is, is being better than everyone else, then it’s just being an elitist I think. Sure it’s good to win, but if your friends and the people you care about arn’t “winning” as well, then what’s the point in the first place? Maybe we are trying to win at the wrong game. I think winning is best when it is being successful at life, however you define that :)
