It’s Not About the Ribbons
For ribbons will fade, and trophies grow old, money is soon spent and fame soon grows old. The important things are not the ribbons, but sometimes it is really the loser who wins; the important things are the friends you make, the experiences you take, working as a team, cooperation and dedication. They will help you become a mighty fine young person. They will do more for you than a prize ever can.
