My Sentence:
She was the girl that taught me that winning isn't everything and that I should be going out and enjoying life rather that worrying about making it big because having this attitude of making it big makes you big headed and that attitude will take you no where in life.
Was I better today than I was yesterday?
I used to be those kids that were mad when they lost a game and I would always blame it on everyone but myself. I would see all that was wrong but I would not do anything about it. Why if it wasn't my fault? I was too good to make mistakes. I know now that that was all wrong. It shouldn’t always be about winning. I should do things because I enjoy doing them not because I want the feeling of being a winner. And because I learned this late I wanted to show the younger generation before it was too late for them. I wouldn’t have became aware of this problem if it wasn’t for constantly seeing fights at my public park between kids that were best friends. They got so mad about a bad call by the ref or even if they lost and they would get taunted and then a fight would break out. All that violence wasn’t necessary and could have been prevented if the parents of the kids had taught them what I did. Winning isn't everything because too much winning makes you cocky and if you are cocky and thinking you are amazing at everything and you take that attitude to the work place you will be put in your place. I taught them the their only goal shouldn't be to make it big in the NBA or MLB because if they surround their lives on that idea then they will get no where in life because they will have BSed their way through school barely getting by to focus on sports. It's good to have dreams but always think about the reality too.
