Going for the gold…

Is it really that important to get the gold every time? I was asking myself that, and here’s what I’ve got. The answer for me was a resounding “NO”. Why? Because the pleasure from being the best is short-lasting. If we need to be better than the others in order to be happy, quite often we will find ourselves thinking that life sucks just because someone is better than us at something.

… if you enjoyed the competition, it doens’t really matter if you won or lost. It is about the experience we have from the race. And that’s true for everything I can think of.
