Randomness!

I found this while looking through an old notebook of mine. A friend and I wrote this about four years ago. 

Keeping your eyes on the ground isn't an option. Lift your head with pride! Even if you lost, you played a good game. You gave it your all, and you were able to force the victors to fight for first. Because of this, you can face your friends with no shame in your gaze. Have the courage to fain big and stick around! Make them wonder why you're still smiling! Even if you feel that it's unfair, give it your best and don't give up. Facing giants will stretch you, and make you a better person. Letting them win is being a coward! Being a coward isn't something you want on your record. Don't sit around and say "Oh, I'm not going to win, so I might as well not try." Fight! Fight to the end! But fight with honor. No low blows. Fight according to the rules. You're not here to make a hero, but to give your all for your friends. In other words, it's not about you! It's about those around you, and all those people cheering you on. More than that, it's about God. How you play, win, and lose shows everyone what kind of God you serve. Run in such a way that you win the race!
