It doesn't matter if you win or lose when doing something competitive. Whether it's playing sports, auditioning for a play, competing in a spelling bee, or even playing Monopoly, what does matter is whether or not you did your best. I say this because in life you are not always going to win, but if you gave it your all, you have nothing to be ashamed of. You tried, and maybe you didn't win this time, but you might win next time. Don't go into any competition thinking about whether or not you will win or lose, but go in knowing you are going to do your absolute best, and that alone will make you a winner.
