Larger than Life

[The Wizard]

Losers whine about trying, winners take the cheerleader home and fuck her.

Sean Connery in The Rock.

I was going to say something similar in response to Johnny, but this is better than anything I could have said.

It goes deeper than that. Few, if any win on the first try. To become larger than life will require many losses.

I really dont like the "winners-losers" dialectic because its so tied to corporate speak, ruthless capitalism and self-help literature.

WTF has the world come to? None of those even crossed my mind.

[The Johnny]

Not saying its a good movie, but, ever seen "Little Miss Sunshine"?

The father has that kind of dialectic going on.

Doesn't matter what its associated with, there's still truth to it. There are winners and there are losers in life. Nothing right or wrong about it, it just is.

Never saw it.

Nothing worth achieving comes easy. My grandfather taught me that one. A lot of the folks I mentioned, had it rough time their entire lives or had parts of their life that fell by the wayside.

Eh.  It depends on the criteria for each.  Biological win for reproducing?  +Fame win for being well known?  Cash money win?  It's a load of horseshit, you ask me.

How do you personally measure success?

The criteria I was going off of was life in general. I would call it a win if you created something that lasts, or lived life in whatever fashion seemed right to you.

But its the kind of thing that changes from person to person.

Like Curly's One Thing from City Slickers?

Like Curly's One Thing from City Slickers?

It's been a while since I watched it, but, yeah, I think so.

The One Thing that makes you happy/gives meaning to your life? Am I correct?

I think so. Been a while since I watched that movie too, but I vaugly recall it being along those lines.

You define the victory conditions for your life, and you have the right to change them at will.
