Which Are You ?

[Bazile]

It's the taking part that counts

Or

Winning that counts

[Sqad]

Nobody remembers who came second.

[-SharonA-]

The loser.

[Ken4155]

I have a bet every day, Bazile, and i have to say, hand on heart, that if it weren't for the losses, the wins wouldn't be as special. So, for me, i guess it's the taking part. Though the occasional win does make taking part that much easier, both financially and from a confidence aspect:-)

[-Talbot-]

Both...it can depend a lot on who your opponent is.

[albaqwerty]

taking part.

Who won the human race? :-)

[Tilly2]

If it's me competing, then... the second.

[Mamyalynne]

Taking part mainly, winning is always a bonus.

[gness]

Sqad.....the winners of the last pub quiz got two bottles of wine... my team came second and won the £300.....the annoyed winners certainly remember us..... ;-)

Baz....I am very competitive......but don't fret about losing....x

[Ken4155]

Not true sqad. I remember all 6 of Jimmy White's losing finals (5 of them on the trot!!). How could i forget them, I backed him in every one :-/

[-Talbot-]

Nobody remembers who came second.

Henry Cooper
Susan Boyle

etc

[Baldric]

Winner.

[jourdain2]

Taking part is what counts for me . Winning is a wonderful bonus.

[marval]

Taking part, but hoping to win.

[pixie374]

It just depends what it is and how important it is.

[Peter Pedant]

winning is not the important thing....
it is the only thing.

the more I practise the luckier I get ( Ilie Nastase and a few others)

// Nobody remembers who came second.//
alot of the time nbo one remembers who came first either

[bednobs]

i used to co-run a sports team, and there was a very big divide between "funners" ad "winners". In my experience you needed both though

[tiggerblue10]

I never win anything so don't bother taking part :o(

[Patsy33]

Taking part that counts. Although I am a little competitive..

[kvalidir]

Both. If I do anything I usually try my best to be the absolute best at it I can be and to win if I can, but if someone beats me / is better than me at something then I'm just happy for them, it doesn't eat me up in a super competitive 'must win at all costs' sort of way, I can just throw away any importance it had as soon as I haven't won.

[Tilly2]

I like to win when playing Badminton, Trivial Pursuits and Articulate.

I'd also like to win when playing The National Lottery. :-)
