A competitive life
Winning is easy - simply choose only the fights you can win. Where there are teams involved, choose the winning team and stick with it until you can make a better deal.
Things are relative, of course. Maybe it's seemingly not that easy to pick the winning team from two contenders. Which is harder though - to pick the team most likely to win, or to pick the team that better deserves to win? Sometimes they're one and the same; that's easy. But when they're not?
Let's forget sport and other inconsequential matters. Things like business and war are more important than that. Here it's not the winning that's the most important thing (or "the only!" thing) but the winning of the right things.
Winning is easy. It's choosing the right fight, then fighting as well as you possibly can - as though your life depended on it, perhaps - that's difficult.
