Success and winning

Wishing for you a happy Monday

We live in a world that is driven by successes and winning. Students in school are told that they all are winners and they even get rewarded  for failing. Success and winning have become so ingrained that the natural process of growth is being reversed by the experts. In the natural process of growth the best seeds are selected, the soil prepared, then planting, growth, bearing fruit, maturing, ripening and finally ready for reaping. The present process to success and winning involves beginning with reaping and doing things in reverse order.
There is much value in recognizing that it is what comes out of you that determines who you are. This is good and teachers are ensuring that it is only the good that enters into their students so as to ensure that students have only a positive outlook on life. Unfortunately the real values that makes a person outstanding cannot be taught.
Although every one is declared to be a winner only one person gets the prize and all others are losers. The man who never lost does not really know what it is to win.
Many parents do their best to prevent their children having to endure similar hardship as they did but unfortunately they cannot shield their children from the circumstances that life will throw at them.
This week you and I can be success stories and winners. We can do this although no one will be there to cheer us on but whatever task we set out to do we can complete that task.
