I wish someone had told me I was a winner when I was young, instead of locking me up in my cocoon. I think I would have liked a trophy for being a part of something. That way I would always remember the good times I (theoretically) would have had as a child. Alas, this was not the case. I was a loser and maintained the loser mentality for quite some time. 

 

Just goes to show that it doesn't always work out the way you think it would. Something so insignificant might have an impact...then again it may not. Constantly losing isn't very fun.
