Pilot to tower.

"Pilot to tower. I am 300 miles from land. 600 feet over water and running out of fuel. Please instruct! "

"Tower to pilot. Tower to pilot. Repeat after me, 'Our Father, which art in heaven...'"

When u realized.

Humans can be very different but all of them have one thing in common - the spirit to win.

When we were still a beast, kings fought with one another for the best queens. In Olympics, we run for a medal, for a pride which seems empty but has everything to do with being superior. In exams, no one stands in our way when it comes to scoring in questions. In war, we only have one objective.. To kill or to hurt just to win.

Recently, winning have been channelled to become something else.
If winning means to court a girl, if wining is about having high alcohol tolerance, if the rich's favorite pastime is casino. Will u still want to win given even when u are from a background where sex is sacred, where alcohol is poison, where the gambling is seen as if a illegal activity. But mummy, they say it's part of a fighter pilot's life.

Peers who were good at those were indeed the cream of my batch. Marched on and progress at the speed of light. Otherwise, on the other side, people are seen as losers.

Right now, I'm here sitting under the stars pondering and reflecting. Weekends after weekends, wild nights and crazy things I've done.

I'll admit to all my readers. I've indeed changed for this "flare to win". I got a girl at the club just to prove to my peers I could hook up anyone. Got phone numbers after numbers when I'm bored of accompanying them to clubs but none to which i contacted. I've been in mess nights on Fridays drinking Guinness, Pure blonde and cold beer with instructors and chatting our sorrows and joys away. I've placed bets on the casino table and got $100 profit just to prove that I can win. I've done crazy things just to prove my capability, things I never liked to do.

But may be its time to stop winning and be a loser. It's not so bad to be a loser after all. Atleast you have a stable life instead a life filled with risk, close friends instead of surface fancy friends, a intimate girlfriend instead of many bar talk girls, atleast u keep your cash instead of giving all up in one bet.

I was never taught to be that kind of winner from the very beginning.

If you were given the chance to lead the life of a winner from this perspective, would you want this? High pay grade guaranteed and luxurious life. A bungalow with a huge car is definitely within reach.

Or simply... A simple life?
