WHY SHOULD YOU WIN?

"We are not delivering on time, can you take it as a challenge & make future deliveries on time. Because you know we may lose this project If we wont".

Take some time.... Read these lines? What exactly they say?Look beyond the words & try to grasp the meaning...

These were told to me by one of the senior people somewhere in my life.Unfortunately, the sentence is based on an emotion. An emotion so deep rooted inside us that we take it for granted.People call it by different names, Lets call it "FEAR".

Reread the lines now

"We are about to lose, Can you make us win because WE AFRAID TO LOSE."

I heard these lines & sensed something wrong, but What was wrong? I didn't know.Gradually it appeared to me. People want to win not because they love wining or because its their passion to win but because they have fear of losing.

That explained to me the failure of many around & wining of few.Unfortunately,they were so busy try not to lose that they never tried to win.

I read somewhere that Good is the enemy of Great. Why? Because when you try not to lose you do good, but when you try just to win, you left the failure far behind & there are no barriers to where you can go. And only then you do great.

The fear of failure is so deep rooted inside us that we use it always, everywhere.

Most of u work so that we won't be fired. We love our children so that they won't reject us.We make friends so that we won't be left alone.

Doing right things is very important in life, but what I find is more important than that is doing them for the right reason.I have seen majority of people live in the fear of death & they never really lived.

I always saw our life as a game, we know the rules. We play by them. We want to win but why?Why do you want to win. Because you want to impress the girl next door or her father or because you have addiction to win.

I have seen very few people who have that addiction. To them, failure doesn't exist. They play like they are born to win. They play like they are 'win addicts'. They play because they want to win. They want to win because that's the only thing thy know & want. When they play there are no girls next door, There are no opponents. There is no failure. There is no fear,there is no good.Madness is the emotion for them & Great is the word for them .

We have to constantly answer this question in our lives.

Whenever we are playing, are we playing with a fear to lose or a hunger to win?

What is driving that hunger, Is that the fear of losing itself or is it Our addiction to the win

Try to break the fear mould & taste the win completely

Trust me you will never fear the failure again.

Though I cannot go back & tell these words to that person but If I get a chance again I want to say

"I win because I am addicted to win Not because I fear to lose"
