What is winning? What does winning mean to you? What does it mean to be a winner?

Winning is a very important thing to some people. In often cases it is way too important and becomes overwhelming and ridicules. Sometimes with the obsession with winning cockeyness fallows along and can really aggravating at times. We have a few prime examples in this school, (not naming names.) Don’t get me wrong now, winning is a fun thing and can really boost your ego and self-esteem. But when you get to the point where your ego can’t get any bigger that’s just enough. The obnoxiously large dictionary Mr. Curren is making me use states: Winning 1. Successful; victorious 2.charming a winning personality 1.the act of one who wins; victory that which has been won. Especially money; a section on a mine that has been opened for working. Now what I can decipher from this ancient pile of papers is that winning means to be successful at accomplishing something. In my opinion winning means to participate and have fun when doing so. I don’t think winning is everything when playing a sport. We all know at the moment that is the only thing that matters but after the fact I think we all really need to step back and think about what winning really and truly means to each and every one of us.
