but I don't think Fresh is talking about Trivial Pursuit or Yahtzee. He's talking about teaching your children to do whatever you can to come out on top, and I think there's some danger there.

There's also the common companion to winning. That is, perfection.
Perfection is the enemy of getting things done. Getting things done is how most of us provide value to the world, thus earning our living. I can't help but be reminded of a thread on the economy and wondering if this topic is somehow connected in FC's mind.It seems to me that someone who is underemployed is losing, if they would prefer to be fully-employed. Someone in that position might want to start providing more value to others to rectify the situation. Sometimes winning is not being #1 but recognizing reality and making the best of it. (I'm so damn full of platitudes lately, it makes me sick.) |
