Or am I completely wrong :-?
More thoughts on Langer
... a good topic,
... he does make me think.
So does this response. Thank you :-)
Why not. I reckon everyone should try to be a winner. It really depends what winning is to an individual. Not everyone can be high achievers but they can win in there own way.
...
I am not a winner.
I will work,for success but .. not too hard.
Sometimes I look at my capabilities and think,
How much more could I do? Achieve?
If I were willing to try harder.
It would require a complete change in my attitude... in who am.
I am not willing to do that. Even deb agrees with that :-)
And yet
... Humanity advances because individuals want to win
... they try to win
... some do succeed
... and humanity advances.
Langer wants to be a winner
...he does have the ability
... he works hard to be a winner
... he succeeds
... and is a very positive influence.
Thanks to Langer
... and to other people who want to win
... and who work
... and try hard
... to win
... humanity advances.
We win at cricket. We reach the Moon.
We all... win.
We may... win... yes, in our own way.
But, "should try" to win?
Well, why not?
We should try.
If we do not even try
...then we lose.
Dang it Col...
You have lead me to change my mind
... my attitude.
Because you are absolutely correct.
Yes, we *should* all try to be winners.
In our own way.
Individual wins may seem small... or large.
We each should
... try to win
...win our own way.
Individual wins are good for the individual.
Even losses, are
... better than not even trying.
We should try... because even very small wins add up.
And that
...that is good for us all.

Very well analysed.
ReplyDeleteI think you were right in the first place. We should not all try to be winners. Imagine a world where everyone was a Langer. Where every quilter only made quilts to be entered into competitions. Where ambition and push became the norm for everyone.
ReplyDeleteLets "celebrate a quiet life", a life of contentment, of not needing to win or be the best. A life of doing little things that make a difference.
