__Go for the Gold__
==Is winning everything? Some people may think that it is just a friendly game, but others may think the total opposite. For example, it will build your self-esteem, you get prizes, and it helps nature. Other people think that winning could lead to cheating, bad sportsmanship, and you may hurt your health to win. I believe that winning is e verything because you know that you reached your goal. Also it could be a situation between life or death. My last example is reputation. ==

== Knowing that you have reached your goal makes you very happy. Also you could set more goals for your self. For example, at a swim meet, you set a time that you would want to beat. Another example is, if you are playing a softball game, you might set a goal to get someone on the other team out, and you do. Wouldn't you feel accomplished? While it's true that winning could lead to cheating, but you should play the game fairly. Another example is that President Barak Obama, was the elected African American president, he probably felt very accomplished. ==

==In a war, people fight for their lives, or they could get shot in the battle and sadly die. Making money could be a life or death situation too. Say if you want a job, and you don't get it. How would you get money? Or how will you survive with no money, with no money means no house, and no house means no food, and no food means you would starve to death. You would need a job to make a living. Another reason is, say if you were in the court room and someone accused you of murdering someone, and you would want to win the case or else you would be in prison for something you didn't do. For example, Helen Keller was born "normal," but she became ill and lost her hearing and vision.==

==Imagine having a reputation that you are the best team in your town. If you were the best team, everyone wouldn't want to play against you, which means that you would win by forfeit. Some people may think that having a reputation could lead to over confidence, but others may think that it could be a good thing to have a reputation of being the best team in your town. My opinion is that I think that it is good to be the best team in the town, and you should feel good about yourself.==

==A lot of people who think that winning is not everything because it is just a game or because people could have bad sportsmanship, I think that winning because of these three reasons. Also in the NFL, you could go to the Super Bowl if your team wins a lot, and you could go the Olympics for swimming if you get really fast times you would be very happy with yourself. All that hard work pays off. Winning is the best feeling you could have, to my opinion, but you also have fun while playing a game.==
