Winning


Have you ever noticed how it seems that the same people keep winning? Except for Charlie Sheen of course. Whether it's sports, competitions, games, or even life,......it just feels like it's always the same people or teams that are left standing when the smoke clears.

The other day, I had an epiphany (No Micheal W., that doesn't mean a bowel movement).

I was playing a video game with DJ Violator, and for the first time, I was losing against him with only minutes left to go in the game.
He was so excited and sure that he was going to finally defeat me, but he had never been in the lead before.

There is a certain kind of pressure that falls on a person when they are at the top, and everyone is trying to knock them off.
If you have never been at the top before, then the pressure will crush you and you will completely fall apart.

I calmly said to DJ........"I have been here a thousand times, and you won't beat me".
As hard as he tried to seem calm, he couldn't compose himself, and sure enough........He crumbled under the pressure.

I prevailed........(as usual)

The epiphany that I had was that people who are used to being on top and enduring the pressures that comes along with it.......will always rise above the rest.....Like foam cream on a Cafe' Latte'.
It is they, which are the majority, who aren't used to being on top, who don't have what it takes to be a winner.
Until they have tasted the blood of victory, and have repeatedly slain all who would dare challenge them, losers will never be winners.

Look at all the great champs of the past.
They weren't always ahead in points, matches, or the race.
But they always remained calm and found a way to win........It was all they knew.
Losing was never an option.

Losers think that every battle has 2 possible outcomes.......While winners know that there is only 1.......
WINNING

  Awwwww....My bad. I meant to put up a champions Picture......

That's More Like It.

Folks, You see what I mean????
Young DJ is doing what people do, who aren't used to WINNING.
A seasoned Veteran at winning, such as myself, will just sit back and laugh, as the DJ "Labron" yaps about being better than Me.(The Jordan of all world....he can have his rinky-dink ass mountain)
Anyone can make it to the top...but only a champ can remain there. Don't let the pressure break ya.
