"Above anything else, I hate to lose." Jackie Robinson
Seems that all winners have a common trait, an intense hatred of losing. I love it. Some people these days seem not to care. We teach our children to not be sore losers. We teach them to accept failure too easily. Schools these days eliminate certain activities because some poor child's self esteem may be damaged because he lost. Well that is life, You win some, you lose some. But the losing, the experience of it, helps strengthen your character, and most often will instill a drive in your heart. A motivation to not let that happen again. I believe we are robbing our kis of the experiences that will make them great. By not allowing winnning and losing, we continue to foster the mediocrity.
Here is to you all you losers out there, may you use the it to your advantage. Learn something to avoid losing again!
