Everyone's a Winner

In this day and age, the phrase "everyone's a winner" is one that is persistently ruining the concept of competition.
In almost every competition today, they don't actually compete. Everyone just does whatever it is they're doing and then they get an award. Everyone wins, they all get a medal, regardless of talent. This makes it so no one learns anything. They all believe they're the best, and it's not going to end well for them. Sure, confidence is great, but people need to be realistic. Competitions help people learn what they're good at and what they need to work on. It's a learning experience, and this whole "everyone wins" thing robs people of that opportunity.
It also makes people expect to win, and they value the prize more than the actual work they're doing. No matter what their score, they expect a prize. They expect to get something even if they're horrible, and that's not right. If you don't do something well, you're not going to get rewarded. In the real world, you're going to get fired, or at least reprimanded, and the idea that you should always be rewarded is ridiculous.
Be careful about your expectations. Not your expectations for life or whatever, but what you expect to get when you do things. Because if you are one of these people, most of the time people are just going to see you as an obnoxious person who doesn't know how to lose. Knowing how to accept a loss is important. If you don't know how to lose, you can't grow from it, you can't learn, and you can't move on. No one wins all the time, and the concept of "everyone's a winner" is making it so people don't realize that.
