This motto can be a good motto or a bad motto to live by. I disagree with the statement “Winning isn’t everything‚ it’s the only thing. There are many reasons that I could agree that the quotation is incorrect‚ but today I am going to argue three of my major points why this is incorrect. First‚ I believe that as long
