Winning

Whenever I win or lose at any kind of game or competition, I ask myself, "Why?" The answer when I win is almost always: "Because I cheated." When I lose, the answer is: "Because my opponent did a better job of cheating than I did."

I can do anything I want, unless someone tries to stop me. And no one ever tries to stop me until after they've already realized what I'm doing and by then it's too late. The only time I can be stopped is when someone who is already just like me is going up against me. I know what I want, and I take it. That's what winners, what cheaters do.

I will always be this way; I don't think I'll ever change. I used to think I was unique, but I have come to realize there are many like me. I've met them. The only time I really have fun, really see a challenge, is when I'm going up against one of them. This game we play, it has whole new rules. You can't win unless you cheat, but cheaters don't always win when there is more than one of them playing.

There is no room for ties or compromise. Someone has to come out on top, and more often than not, it's me. There are people who have given me a run for my money, though. I am not someone who can't be impressed. But every time I am beaten, I learn something, and I grow stronger than before. Each defeat makes me stronger, and as I grow stronger, I am defeated less often. One day, I will be invincible.

But what is invincible really? How do I know when I've reached supremacy. Because no one else can win against me? Perhaps I have just not found a worthy opponent. And if there is a worthy opponent out there, I want to find him, because if I defeat him, I am one step closer to being unstoppable and if he beats me, I am still one step closer.

I learn; I grow; I do whatever it takes. One day, I will rule this nation, and then, the world. And it all started as a game.
