We were playing on a little table in the living room. I shuffle the cards and hand it to him. I was confident that I was going to win the game. I managed to have only one card left. My little cousin still had four more cards. I was waiting for my turn so I could win the game.
Transition/topic sentence C: The event led me to realized that Because I was so into winning the game I did not realize of the possibility that my little cousin could have me draw cards. Before I my turn came, my cousin put down his four cards all with a draw on it. I had to draw ten cards. My cousin was laughing because he automatically won the game after that. I was in shock to the idea that a six-year-old won me in this game.
Transition/topic sentence D: after the event I tried to play few more times with him but I ended up losing every time. After few failed attempts, I realized that I was too busy trying to make him lose that I did not pay attention to my own cards or the actual game. This is not the first time that I lose in a game. But the fact that my little cousin won was that make me actually realized my

Success and failure seem to be pretty distinct opposites, but many times the differences between success and failure aren’t as obvious as we may think them to be. Sometimes a failure can be turned into a success if you are willing to look back at them, and are open to learning from them. Many times, one’s attitude toward a failure can determine whether or not anything is learned from it. Those who remain upbeat and positive after a failure may be able to get something out of it, but those who just don’t think about it and ignore it won’t get anything from it.
Poker is a card game that has been around for hundreds of years. Although the origin of the game and the name itself are debatable, the game of Poker is played more than any other card game in the world. The scenario I explained took place during a game of Five Card Draw. This is a very popular rendition of Poker. Poker has evolved over the years and hence has numerous types of games that still fall under the Poker category. My favorite games are Five Card Draw and Texas Hold ‘em. Both games are similar because they derive from the original game of Poker, involves betting, and using playing cards. They also differ because of the betting, the number of cards used and the way the cards are dealt.
The section of the book private victory’s, and the habit win win. Talks about how you should never even think about losing you should always think about winning. Also you should always try to find a solution to a problem and try to make it a win-win equation. And i feel that i am not so good at this skill and i need to
I sprinted to the finish and beat my goal time! I finished in one hour and forty-three minutes and placed second in my age group. After relaxing for a few minutes to catch my breath, I sauntered over to the water table, grabbed a bottle, and then made my way to the awards table. The table overflowed with garish medals and trophies. The announcer began naming the individuals that placed. When he called my name, I gauchely walked up to the table and accepted my silver medal. I felt so accomplished! The announcer saved the overall winner for last. It was a close finish, and the two runners did not even know who won. When the speaker announced the winner, the runner-up became infuriated. Ironically, the runner-up turned out to be the speaker that talked before the race about how he planned on winning again. The bellicose man ran up to the winner throwing punches. The whole crowd gasped as the ethereal trophy flew out of the winner’s hands and shattered on the ground. Security shoved through the crowd and tackled the feckless man. Everything settled down when the police placed the inane fellow in handcuffs and into the cop car. The coordinator promised the winner a new trophy, and then apologized to everyone and encouraged them to continue to enjoy
The word "winning" means more than just crossing the finish line first or having more points in a game, its learning to appreciate success or how close one is to it. In the first stanza the author uses imagery to show the audience that success is the biggest glory and sweetest to those who want it but never achieve it. Some people work so hard and struggle in life just to reach a goal, however, success is so close and they still can't have it. To those more fortunate to repeatedly have success, they don't appreciate it as much as someone who doesn't would.
There is a point in everyone’s life when they step back and realize “I can’t do this anymore, it’s ruining my life”. Many of my friends have started smoking cigarettes while drinking at a very young age, and continue to use this drug currently and don’t realize the affect it has on their future. While I have been smart enough to avoid smoking, I haven’t been as wise at making decisions when it comes to drinking. The amount of partying I’ve done in college has taken over my life, and has had a huge impact on my grades. Changing my drinking habits and continuing to avoid cigarettes will enable me to be the best I can be for the rest of my college experience.
Everyone in life experiences failure. It can affect people positively or negatively and that all depends on how they react to the experience. If one lets their failure overcome their dreams, it will lead them in the wrong path. But if one views their failures as a motive to succeed and grow, then they are on their way to becoming successful. For me, I let my failures in life help build onto my character and define the person I am today. My childhood injury is my example as I let this moment affect the outcome of my dreams I had then.
I got the book again and we kept reading the book till the end. I was so proud of him at the end of the book I told him, “I always will help you and teach you if you ask me!” He said, “Thank you and I will do that.” Now from time to time I watch him read books on his own and I see how smart he has become and I see that he doesn’t go out and play anymore. I always tell him, “Go out and play I know you are tired of reading the same books.”
The feeling of frustrated regret gave us the strength to improve our skills. It propelled my team and I to win. There was a piano competition. I had poured all my effort in perfecting my piece for a whole year.
Have you ever been beaten down by your own confidence? It is supposed to help you succeed, but instead, it once made me blinded from the fact that I am not perfect. There is always a chance of failure if I don’t try my best. In fact, I did fail getting into my dream high school.
It was dark that night, I was nervous that this dreadful day was going to get worse. Sunday, October 23, 1998 I wanted to start writing this to tell about the weird things i’m starting to see in this new neighborhood. Gradually I keep seeing pots and pans on the sink suddenly move to the floor. I would ask my sister but she is out with my mom and dad getting the Halloween costumes. When they got home I didn’t tell them what I saw because i've seen Halloween movies and I have to have dissimulation otherwise the ghost will come out and get me first. October 24, 1998 I think I got a little nervous yesterday with the whole ghost thing. 12:32pm, Went to eat lunch with the family today and I go to get my coat. I heard the words furious and madness,
Winning was always a must for me, it wasn’t that I needed to better but that I had to be better. But sometimes, I’m about to achieve something extraordinary and then I fail. (MC)(Round)
