Winning as learned through Taladega Nights:

TR: "Chip I'm gonna come at you like a spider monkey!"......

Chip: "You gonna let your sons talk to their grandfather like that? I'm their elder!"

RB: "I sure as hell am Chip! I love the way they're talkin to you! Cuz they're winners, winners get to do what they want!"

Nope. It's because our culture mostly produces fat people. And a guy who trains harder for the same fat end ain't a winner because of a dusty old trophy.

Those who stay fit and active as they get older are the exceptions, in our culture. Most of the "jocks" I know who stayed fit as they aged were not succesful in their sports in youth, and are a bit obsessed with a glory they never had, which keeps them more fit than most of the star athletes from my youth.

ALL the former pro football players I've known, however, have been fat due to heinous injuries and an inability to workout anymore to any great extent. Different thing, there. They loved the game, and were willing to make the sacrifice. Winning has costs, everything does.

LOL at a middle aged guy running around the internet acting like a db online suggesting others are bitter solely for the attention of twelve year olds and accolades of online geeks .

And Susie wouldn't go to the dance with you either? That is just sad.

LOL.... The laurel's of victory resting between the prom queen's legs.....

Victory is a cruel mistress to some people. Once you've done the Prom Queen, and the Pep Squad, half a troupe of Ballet Dancers and a kinky catwalk model with kinky friends, what's next? (Right...Breakfast!)

You suggest take up sport?? Spend all your free party time with sweaty blokes?? And those ungodly morning training sessions? Just for some trophy's, or ribbons? (OK, guilty as charged, but I have a note from my Mum.)

People get unduly inflated by victory and unduly defalted by defeat. There are so many planes to measure it on, and so many perspectives to compare to. One man's victory is another man's defeat.

For example, you're out with the Prom Queen on Thursday and she run's into the Ex, well, soon to be Ex, he's a little feisty, whatcha gonna do? You want the Prom Queen, or you want the Victory? LOL... Yea, you want both, fair enough...

...well, it may depend on the kind of girl too....

You can win on one plane, and lose on another as a result is my point.

As the saying goes, cherish your victories and learn from your failure, but the road is long and in the end you only compete against yourself.

Success is the mature older brother of victory that's learned to control his ego.

I've won and I've lost, luckly won more times than loss and never lost on the street.
I can say this:
Winning is better than losing !

But you tend to learn more from your losses.

But you tend to learn more from your losses.

a more humbling experience for sure.
