A causal look at the world reveals that there is competition every where.This is evident in every area of life-ranging from games to work.There seems to be one mad rush every where where we try to succeed.Often it does not matter who loses as long as it is not we who lose.This mad rush in every area of life divides the world into winners and loses.
If we listen to stories by so-called  successful people, we see that not all of them consider themselves 'winners'.Frequently, there have been cases where people who have been labelled successful business man have lost their families through divorce; or have lost their health through overworking to gather the wealth.Can we call such people winners?The people probably do not think so.One such person is Elvis Presley.In the world of pop music he was 'The King' a definite winner; but alas, his personal life was far from successful.He lost his family, his health and died miserably from drug overdose.His end was pitiful, yet he had vast wealth at his disposal.One is sure that the King would have gladly traded all his wealth  for a loving family life.
Of course, this is not to say that is good or even acceptable to be a 'loser'.No one should be poor or a failure in life.It is of no credit to anyone if we were to live from hand to mouth, or be homeless or be sick or unsuccessful in family life.It is of no credit to anyone if he were live from hand to mouth, or be homeless or be sick or unsuccessful in family life.I fact with all the joy and happiness that we see in the world around us, it is an insult to humanity that there should be people who are poor or 'losers' in life.However, the fact remains that not many people who consider themselves losers actually are.Many people who call themselves losers because they did not win what they set out to, are winners-if only they could take honest looks at their situations .For example, people who come in second place in Olympic events burst into tears-apparently because they did not become number one.Can they be considered losers? Surely it is a sign of success that they are in seconds place-in comparison to many others.They should simply congratulate the person in first place and still consider themselves as winners to some degree.
None of us have to be winners or losers.We should be happy enough to be ordinary humans in this beautiful world and find happiness in small things,like the smile of a child or the fragrance of a flower or the smoothness  of  a stone on the beach.Life is certainly not only for those considered winners by popular standard; nor is life to be excluded for so called 'losers'.Life is for all of us.We do not have to follow the popular tendency to label people as winners and losers.
