I'm not the most athletic, nor the most smart, nor the most successful person for my age, hardly. And it's because of my losses, second places, a countless amounts, that I want to win all the more. It takes self determination, sacrifice, hardship, but I always see the blood and tears go in it to compete for the the chance to be victorious. And if I lose? Then I chalk it up, and get ready for my next chance to try to win.
It applied to youth sports. It applied to grades in school, it applied to getting a job over the other candidates. It applies in so many areas of life that equate to success.
I would pass down the same "hard work to succeed, hard work to win" to my children, personally. It has nothing to do with not loving or sharing arrogant values, it's telling them you need to try to win because your life will be better if you compete in this dog eat dog world. That's reality for me.
