Winners Never Kill.... Its the Losers Who Die!!!

India Wins the First T20 World Cup!!! Congrats to all Indians... We got the kill. I nearly missed many of my heart beats and thanks to our team that it didn't allowed it stop.
Who does not like to win, or see their Nation, family, friends win. Is winning an act of chances or is it by grace of God or we need to inherit it. Well.... I guess winning lies in that extra push that we give out of our guts and say "Boy its Win or Die", but not to be taken literally, but still we need to push. If our opponent pushes better we lose.
How many times it has happened that we are about to break the winning ribbon but at the last one-tenth of an instant we are surprised "Man what happened, it was me who was winning there was no one around" and we see a victorious figure, leaving us with the thought "It was suppose to be me" But that extra push made him win.
The point I want to make is winners keeps performing at par with their opponents and when its time to hit the nail they hammer the best. Its that Extra Thing... Its what we can call courage, patience, intelligence sometimes common sense... whatever we call it but its generally a bit extra then those behind.
I nowhere want to pose as if I am winner or something..... but trying to just analyse whether winners follow some pattern to reach their goal or it just others accept them as winners and are contented with their positions. But I guess winners never content they CONTEND. They always throw challenge may be not sure of winning but try till the last drop, and somehow there is always a last drop for them.
Fire may have been discovered by chance but I wonder to think how that person reproduced it again. Wont it have been frustrating rubbing those flints, trying to get spark out of them. May be a neighbour laughing at him thinking him as a fool. But that didn't deter him. He believed and kept going on and on and on.... And POOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFF!!!! There was fire.... And the same same neighbour must have camp fired with him and danced around the barbecue.... That Extra perseverance gave us what we cant even think how life would be without.
I believe winners are winners... whether they win or not... sounds weird!!! I say losers are those who accepts defeat without giving their best. Winner will accept defeat from another winner may be in respect that the other just had something Extra which he was not prepared for, but will be better armed for the next dual.
