Winning - A Lost Art


There's a lot of people playing defense and the game doesn't get won that way.  You might avoid getting killed or stomped on by defending yourself, but there will be no winning.  It's human instinct to win, to compete, to want to be the best.  We're born that way, and it just depends on how soon that instinct starts to get squashed.

Winning requires offense.  Winning requires intensity and belief that if I put everything I have into my game then maybe -just maybe -I can overcome the competition.  It's about perspective.  Does defeat and losing convince you it can't be done, or maybe it starts to occur that you could give it everything you have and winning might still evade you? Winning is slippery, but it's also

Is it just you? Or is Leadership a magnet for crazies?
