Challenge 3: Only victory will do!

#53: Discuss a significant experience or achievement that has influenced your life.

My Dad always says, "It is not about how you win the game. It is about how you play the game." I can understand his point. Tying hard and [something] is its own reward. But sometimes life is about whether you win or lose. Sometimes, only victory will do.

I should probably begin with a historical example. Without question, World War II was hard fought by the United States as they struggled to join. Thousands of innocent soldiers were died from this battle. However, would it have been worth it if they did not join the battle and allowed Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito to put "undesirables" to death?

We know that life is more than getting good grade and going to a good college. This is right. However, there is no doubt that going to a good college is one of the greatest accomplishment in our life. If we get in, we accomplish. If we don't, we fail.   

We say life is a marathon. We learn through mistakes and failure. There always will be second change and third change. But I say life is only once. When we account to something that is important to us, it is about whether we win or lose. There won't be second or third. So in this case, I sacrifice anything in order to win.
