It's only natural for us to want to come out on top. But, as we all know, this isn't always the case. It takes a lot of work, cooperation from team- mates, and practice to be the best. Sometimes the disappointment and frustration one feels from losing can seem overwhelming. It's very impor- tant to keep in mind that it's not anyone's fault. It there is a winner there has to be a loser. Losing doesn't necessarily mean that one isn't good enough, it means that he pushed someone to try harder to beat him. I'm sure everyone's heard of the old saying, It's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. This is true. It's important to keep your chin up. Nobody enjoys being around a sore loser. One should learn from his mistakes and apply his knowledge next time he is competing. One should strive to attain personal satisfaction. Once he has, then the next stop is to come out as a winner. 9
