= If you disagree with me you must be pretty sad in your life. For example the supper bowl, the NBA championship, the World Cup or the Stanley Cup. They have to win the playoff to get there. For example, my team was in the championship and we worked hard in practice and we won. Winning is everything. = = = = If you win, you can get prizes. Money is one prize that you can win and use for new gear or for yourelf. Trophies are another prize that can bring back memories of who and when you played. If you are in a tournament, you win big time, like a trip to another tournament out of state. The trip could be for your family, friends, or your team. Even in the Trojan War, the Athenians said they were fighting the war to get Helen back. But when they invaded Troy, the Athenians ransacked the town and burned it to the ground. They were more interested in the loot that Troy had instead of Helen. = = = = If you win you get respect. For example, if sixth graders beat sevenths in a doge ball game, the seventh graders will respect the sixth graders because they are smaller and grade below them. If you play sports well in high school, you get not only respect, but you can get a scholarship. My cousin got a scholarship for academics, that got her respect from her parents and sidling's. And if you are really good, after college you could get a job with MLB, NHL, NFL, or NBA. Winning earns you respect and recognition. = = = = When you win you get confident. When my team won a 9-U tournament in baseball, we got a championship trophy for winning. That made our team more confident when we entered more tournaments. It does not feel good to lose because you worked hard for it. In one biography about Jackie Robinson, I learned that he felt nervous when he first joined the Brooklyn Dodgers because he was the only black player in the league. But he played well which made him confident and he got respect from his teammates. My cousin plays soccer and his team was undefeated, that gained them a lot of confident for there team. If you lost a game in your life, you know how much it lowers your confident. = = = = Sometimes winning is a matter of life and death. For example, if you lived in the wilderness you would have to hunt or fish or else you would starve to death. In this case you are trying to win over the animal your are trying to get. One example is the hunger games, they had to team up to survive. Another life and death situation is warfare. The only time that I think winning was not everything is what Adolf Hitler did to the Jews. In that case I wanted the United States to win, because if they didn't, the Holocaust would have went on. = = = = Some people may not think winning is everything, but that's only because they play for fun. They may not compete as seriously as others. Even though losing is a part of the game, that doesn't mean that it is fun or you should accept it. What if you were playing in the biggest game of your life; would you want to win, or lose? If it were me, I would want to win, because winning is everything. =
