Nice post @meesterboom.
I hope the hot lady didnt burn you when you grabbed her hands and navigated through the pitch dark office.

Well, there have been many times i misinterpreted the situation and did my best to win when i shouldnt have. They were mostly in my secondary school days. Most times then i used to think of myself and saw life like a competition till i watched "the 3 idiots". Have you seen the movie too?

Once, we left a roommate asleep in the hostel and rushed for night classes. The house master came and punished him for refusing to go for night classes. We regretted our act and helped him do the job he was given for punishment.

And during a quiz, we were divided into groups but marks were going to be scored individually. Everyone wanted to score highest in our group so a day to the quiz we all hoarded our materials, we failed to work as a team, we didnt even put our heads together to decide our answers so in an attempt to win individually, we lost as a group.

But as I grew up, i realised competition was made to scatter communal living. i remember knowing how to solve a chemistry assignment that the class had failed and was going to come in the exams the next day, i quickly notified in the class group, called others and we solved together that night. They were all happy. But am sure i wasn't the first to know the solution, maybe someone else did but wanted to be first.

I have equally heard of a photographer who took the photo of a lion eating a small boy. Maybe he wanted to be winner, best photo for the year. However, public comments and critics made him kill himself.

Most situations in live are not always about the win.
