Five Cons to Everyone Gets a Trophy
I am a public-school product of the 70’s and 80’s, graduating from High School in 1989. In my elementary and junior high years, I played competitive basketball. When I entered high school, I focused on choral music and participated in one year of speech and debate. Though I enjoyed my fair share of victories and superior ratings, I also learned how to lose. I didn’t always bring home a trophy or a ribbon, and I am a better person, husband, and father because of it.

Write Sharply
When I was 12, I made friends with my cousin. He’s my cousin’s husband actually, but it’s all the same to me. They were recently married at the time. He and I became friends because it was summer and I liked to fish as much as he did. I couldn’t drive, so I’d ride shotgun in his 70’s Ford Maverick. The window crank on the passenger side was replaced with a pair of vice-grips. The floor was littered with empty chip bags and cigar butts. There were dented surplus military canteens and rolls of duct tape and little patches of sawdust and oilstains on the blue carpet. The tires were bald and underinflated. You could hear them squeal around mild turns in the highway as we drove up near the power station in the town of Snelling, CA. He took on the name “Maverick”, despite that he had sold the old blue monster long ago. The car had been converted from 3 on the tree, to 4 on the floor and it ran like a sewing machine.

Power and Ability
Power and ability I’ll tell you something that might really shock you, throughout my 30 years on this earth, about 23 of those years I always chose the difficult path, even when the straight path was an option. I was once selfish, careless, and destructive (I believe those would be the right words to describe me). However, every road I’ve been down has played a vital role in molding me into the person I am today. I wouldn’t change my past for anything. I don’t even think a million dollars would be enough compensation for the wisdom, knowledge, and strength I’ve gained by going down the roads I’ve been down.

How To Keep Hope Alive In A World That’s Filled With Fear.
In a world where we are constantly surrounded by fear, it can be hard to keep hope alive. It is easy for people to lose their sense of optimism and take on the mentality that things will never change. I have also been one of those people who lose hope easily and that is because we usually focus on the negative aspects of our lives. However, this does not have to be the case! In order to maintain an optimistic outlook in today’s difficult environment, there are some steps you can take which we will discuss later.

Food to increase energy and motivation
Intro You may have noticed that when you’re running out of energy after a long day’s work, you can feel as though you have to push harder to get the same effect. The science is pretty clear: your body doesn’t like to be on its own — and one of the ways it gets around that is by giving itself an extrinsic motivation (e.g., money).

Winning is A Decision
Winning is a journey not too many people want to start and many never do. With that there are also people who think they’ve started and have been stuck in an illusion their whole lives. We all know the story of the three little pigs, right? The story starts out with three pigs in three different houses living in harmony. The first pig has a house built by straw the second twigs and the third brick. Randomly one day a big and (relatively bad) wolf comes along and tries to eat them. He blows both their houses down except for the third pig because his house was strong enough to withstand the wolfs powerful winds and the moral of the story is dependent on who you had teaching you. One being friendship and how the power of having reliable friends can come in handy in times of struggle, but if the wolf represents calamity in the world and the houses represent how prepared we are for it then the moral becomes more about building yourself up to be so strong that nothing can move you. However, in reference to winning there can be a different perspective all together. For example, imagine the pigs don’t know each other at all. They each build their respective houses and go about their days as usual, and the wolf instead of being “big and bad” is seen as a regular wolf and like regular wolves eating other animals is normal as its more for survival and not being subjectively mean. He still stumbles upon all three pigs individually and for the purpose of the story line he still blows their houses down. Now the first pig that built his house out of straw is completely confident that the wolf is not capable of blowing his house down. Straw might have been the only thing in his area, he might not know much about the strength of wolves we don’t know for certain all we know is he built his house out of straw. Straw is the weakest material in the story, so we know that he was done the fastest between the three pigs. With such speed he was able to enjoy the fruits of his labor quicker much like instant gratification. Without any thought of what could potentially harm him, or what the best material was around him he would proceed to build something that was sufficient for the needs he was thinking about presently like shelter, warmth, and stability. This leaves him open for an opportunistic wolf that appears on the scene hungry and as quickly as the pig built his home the wolf just as quickly blows it down and feasts on the pig.
