"Doing what is right, fair, and honorable is more important than winning or losing."
-Chick Moorman
This statement means that you feel bad if you win unfairly, but if you lose by doing what is right than you won't feel bad about losing. It is always better to do what is right than to do what is wrong and win. Winning unfairly will only last awhile, but if you do what is fair and still lose that will still last longer because you will have the feeling of doing right with you all the time. Doing what is fair, right, and honorable will stay with you longer than any reward you can possibly get. Those rewards may end up being destroyed or in the trash, but knowing that you did something good will always stay with you. For example, if I win an award, but I know I didn't deserve it than I won't feel good about it and I will have the guilt with me all the time. Now if I lose, but I know I didn't cheat my way to the top then I will feel good about it because I will always have the feeling that I did what was fair. Now don't think that it is better to lose than win, sometimes you can win by doing what is right and that is honestly better. You won't only feel good about doing what is right, but you will also feel happy about winning. Winning isn't the best thing in the world and that shouldn't be your focus in life, you should always keep your mindset in trying to always do what is right, fair, and honorable.
