True Joy's Secrete

Who always wins never knows defeat tastes not true joy nor its secrete Who often falls before rising triumph's sweeter for the agonizing

I can relate to this gw...the 'everybody wins' attitude that is expressed these days is a disservice to our grandchildren. At least IMHO. Well done! laf

I agree with you wholeheartedly, Linda. Kids crave and deserve real competition, not sugar-coated praise. 'Everybody wins' translates to 'Nobody wins.' Thanks for the support. :) gw
