Lebron James and What We Lose When We Win
The image I will remember most from the 2010 World Cup is Netherlands coach Bert van
Marwijk pulling off his silver medal in disgust as soon as he left the podium.
Welcome to a brave new world where winning is everything and losing a soccer match
is more serious than exposing yourself as a petulant child in front of two billion
people.
When I was a boy I was intrigued by Archie Manning, one of the NFL’s greatest
quarterbacks who played for its worst team, the New Orleans Saints. Season after
season good ole’ Archie would be pummeled by defensive ends and Linebackers who came
charging through his porous offensive line to maul him into the gridiron. Never one
to complain, Manning took the beating and continued to clock up impressive stats
year after year, even as his team continued to lose.
Why stay with a team so awful that its fans wore brown paper bags over their heads?
Why not be traded to a team that had a chance? I never found the answer to that
question. But after Arching Manning retired two of his sons followed him into the
NFL and became two of its greatest quarterbacks with his eldest son, Peyton, ranking
as perhaps the greatest of all time.
Only a father who is truly his sons’ hero can inspire them to follow so fully in his
footsteps and only a father who has displayed such enormous loyalty and dedication
can raise children who, amid being rich and famous, are widely regarded as possessed
of high character. So maybe old Archie got his reward in the end after all. Not a
Super Bowl but two sons who won Super Bowls and who are models of sportsmen as
gentlemen. This is the reward that character, rather than a championship, can
bestow.
It’s a lesson that Lebron James, who clearly bought into the ‘winning is everything’
mindset, ought to take to heart. When James dumped Cleveland this week – without the
courtesy of even informing the team directly – in order to artificially manufacture
a championship team with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh at the Miami Heat, he
demonstrated that what really counts in sports is not character but victory, not
loyalty but success.
Yes, we all want to win, and no, none of us enjoy losing. But the price we’re
prepared to pay for our victories is that which will determine our essential
character.
Everywhere you look in sports today character is second to victory. I’m an avid
cyclist and experience few joys like getting on my bike and getting out into nature.
What a pity then that so many professional cyclists have ruined the sport through
doping in the belief that crossing the finish line first trumps putting principles
first.
It started, of course, with baseball, where players trade teams as easily as kids
trade baseball cards. Every player is up for grabs to the highest bidder. In
baseball team loyalty is almost nonexistent. It shouldn’t surprise us, therefore,
that the sport suffered the worst of the doping scandals.
But since sports aren’t the most important thing in life, why should any this
matter? Because it’s indicative of a culture that puts winning above everything.
In today’s business world the biggest winners of all are no longer the doctors or
lawyers but Wall Street investment bankers who make all other professionals appear
like losers by comparison. On Wall Street if you’re not in the ranks of the
super-wealthy, earning tens of millions of dollars a year, you’re a failure who can
only gawk in awe at the masters of the Universe who run multi-billion dollar hedge
funds. No wonder then that so many on Wall Street took irresponsible risks in order
to have the paydays that would take them into the highest echelons. The fact that
their risk was paid for by our tax dollars did not much matter. Remember, it’s
success at any cost.
The winning is everything ethos trickles down to an increasingly rancid and shallow
media culture where newspapers and TV rely on shallow Hollywood gossip to boost
ratings even as all this nonsense makes the American audience dumber and dumber. It
then trickles down even further to vulnerable teenagers whose first desire is to
simply be famous, however that might happen.
Want to know why kids cheat at school? Come now. Is that a serious question? How
different are they to the rest of us who employ a win-at-any-cost model.
But there is hope among the youth who are, as yet, not as cynical as we adults. The
New York Times reported this week that Miley Cyrus has rapidly dropped in popularity
by twenty percentage points among girls because of her new hyper-sexualized image,
which includes a video of her giving a lap dance to a 44-year-old director and
appearing seemingly nude, covered only by a sheet in Vanity Fair. Likewise, her new
album ‘Can’t Be Tamed’ has cratered, selling 72% less than her previous album which
sported a more wholesome female image.
Which just goes to show you. Not all kids will applaud success at any cost.

As the world gets more complicated, we’re seeing a rising need for what I’ll call micro jobs. A micro job is even smaller than an odd job. If an odd job involves painting a fence for half a day, a micro job might involve changing the battery in a senior citizen’s smoke detector. A micro job is too small to attract even the unemployed.
A typical homeowner has lots of micro jobs piling up around the house. Maybe an inaccessible light bulb is blown out and you don’t have a tall ladder.I’ve long been glad that when I went to
Moncler Jackets in the 80s, I was at MIT rather than Harvard. Either place I would’ve taken hard classes and learned a lot, but one advantage of MIT was that we had no sense–no sense at all–that we could make big bucks. We had no sense of making moderately big bucks as lawyers, no sense of making big bucks working on Wall Street,Moncler Jacket and no sense of making really big bucks by starting a business. I mean, sure, we knew about lawyers (but we didn’t know that a lawyer with technical skills would be a killer combination), we knew about Wall Street (but we had no idea what they did, other than shout pork belly prices across a big room), and we knew about tech startups (but we had no idea that they were anything to us beyond a source of jobs for engineers). Moncler was famous for its fashion designs; and with the dedicated and diligence work,offering you and your loved ones original made within the EU wear,the top of the crane stand position.should take the time to choose the best price Moncler you.Mongol Empire as the equipment in 1954. I majored in physics, which my friends who were studying engineering thought was a real head-in-the-clouds kind of thing to do, not really practical at all. Maybe you want to install a dimmer switch and you’re not comfortable around electricity. Maybe there’s a dead mouse in your trap and you’re too freaked out to deal with it. You can come up with a long list of jobs you’d rather pay someone to do for you, if only that person were easily identified and reasonably priced. -
