Winning isn't everything but making an effort to win is.

1.  I chose this quote because I thought it connected to me since a I love sports and I typically don't mind losing as long as I know I tried.  I am not saying I don't enjoy winning, I just don't feel as bad about losing if I tried my hardest.  Not only does the quote,"Winning isn't everything but making an effort to win is" connect to sports but I can also relate it to being in class.  All though I may not understand something, if I am trying as hard as I can to solve the problem I am somewhat satisfied.

2.  This quote connects to me because I tried to do as well as I can in everything I do from athletics to education.  For example, say my soccer team is being blown out four to zero, I still try as hard as I can all the way through until I hear the final whistle.  In the end I will be happy to say that the team we played against was just better than us.

3.  If I lived by the idea of, "Winning isn't everything but making an effort to win is" I think I would probably be the most stressed out person in the world.  Because I would feel as if I have to be perfect in everything I do and thats not possible for anyone to ever do.
