“Play to win and win to play. Playing to
win is one of the finest things you can do.
It enables you to fulfill your potential. It
enables you to improve the world and,
conveniently, develop high expectations
for everyone else too. And what if you
lose? Just make sure you lose while trying
something grand. Avinash Dixit, an
economics professor at Princeton, and
Barry Nalebuff, an economics andmanagement professor at the Yale School
of Organization and Management, say it
this way: “If you are going to fail, you
might as well fail at a difficult task. Failure
causes others to downgrade their
expectations of you in the future. The
seriousness of this problem depends on
what you attempt.” In its purest form,
winning becomes a means, not an end, to improve yourself and your competition.
Winning is also a means to play again. The unexamined life may not be worth living,
but the unlived life is not worth examining. The rewards of winning – money, power,
satisfaction, and self-confidence – should not be squandered. Thus, in addition to
playing to win, you have a second, more important obligation: To compete again to
the depth and breadth and height that your soul can reach. Ultimately, your greatest
competition is yourself.”He continues:
“Obey the absolutes. Playing to win, however, does not mean playing dirty. As you
grow older and older, you will find that things change from absolute to relative.
When you were very young, it was absolutely wrong to lie, cheat, or steal. As you get
older, and particularly when you enter the workforce, you will be tempted by the
’system’ to think in relative terms. ‘I made more money.’ ‘I have a nicer car.’ ‘I went
on a better vacation.’ Worse, ‘I didn’t cheat as much on my taxes as my partner.’ ‘I
just have a few drinks. I don’t take cocaine.’ ‘I don’t pad my expense reports as much
as others.’ This is completely wrong. Preserve and obey the absolutes as much as you
can. If you never lie, cheat, or steal, you will never have to remember who you lied
to, how you cheated, and what you stole.”
