people often reference life as a series of ups and downs. i tend to think of it more as a series of wins and losses. if you talk to me youve probably noticed me refer to things as wins or losses. pretty much anything can qualify; something as small as a joke or something as big as a car crash. If someone is better than someone else it doesnt mean they have more wins then the lesser person. it just simply means that they have bigger wins and for the lesser person, their win may consist of them not locking the keys in the car. we all have the same ratio of wins and losses. the difference is how we deal with them. you have people that lose alot and get discouraged. those are the sad people, they dont wanna play anymore. then theres the competive guys that wear head bands and bring a seperate pair of kicks to gym so that they dont get their originals dirty, they just want to win and they wont spend any time on the losses.
the people that choose not to participate in things. it's not that theyre afraid of loosing or even be embarrassed by a bad attemp. theyre afraid of winning.
