Coming in Second?

Who doesn't love winning? I'll tell ya who, those who don't. No one loves a dynasty, a know-it-all, a cold-stone winner. It puts a target on your back. It labels you. It traps you in an ivory tower. I like winning as much as the next guy, but I'm slowly learning the art of losing.

Don't get me wrong; I can't win whenever I want to. But that's not the trick. The trick is winning only when you want to. You see, there's a simple beauty in the hustle. If they're always suprised when you come out on top, you've got 'em. Because you determine the emotional investment.

It's maintaining the balance that's hard.
