Analysis Of The Movie ' Winning Isn 't Everything ' Essay

One week before I was due to show my horse Bender in the county fair, my horse and I were practicing in the pasture when Bender accidentally stepped on a large rock, and stumbled. The next day, Bender was limping. A horse who limps in a show will be disqualified. Optimism instantly had to become a priority of mine if I wanted to heal Bender. I took special care of my horse, and stayed extremely optimistic that we would be able to compete in the upcoming county fair. This optimistic view of my horse's lameness lifted my spirits, and convinced me not to throw in the towel. The day before the fair, Bender had not limped once, so we were able to compete, and we did exceptionally well. Optimism should be a priority because it inspires, brings

I was still just as nervous as before, but once I’m in front of the judge showing my pig, all the nerves disappear, because I am doing what I love. By this time I knew that I had a good chance at winning the division, and I did. It was all so very exciting, but I still had to go back in the ring for the breed or reserve breed champion. Maggie, a girl in our group, had won the heavyweight division, so we were both going back for the breed champion. We are out in the ring showing our Yorks, and the judge announces the Breed Champion York, Maggie’s pig. She exits the ring and then the judge talks some more about a pig that he’s going to pick for the reserve, by that time I knew he was talking about my pig. I was right, he pointed to my pig and I was the Reserve Breed York. I shook the judge's hand, got my banner and buckle and left the ring with White Lightening, my smile was uncontrollable. What made it even more awesome was that me and Maggie swept the Yorks and we were in the same group, and on top of that, not even planned, we both wore a pink button down polo shirt, jeans, boots, Kendra Scott earrings, and our blonde hair was half up half down. Twinning was definitely winning for us. The judge even mentioned me and Maggie being twins while we were in the ring showing for breed, so we decided that we should twin again for the grand

You will always be successful.” This quote has been stuck in my head. It shows me that you can only be successful if you put your all into it. Finally, came the week in October of Harvest Festival in Longview and Calf Scramble Progress Show in Houston. The distance between Longview and Houston is about three hours and thirty minutes, I was showing a pig on Thursday and had to be in Houston on Friday. We got settled in Houston around six o’clock and got Belle ready for the show the next morning. Little did I know that I had to be back in Longview by four to sale my pig or it could not be sold, with the Heifer show at one we had a lot of stress on our hands. I woke up on Saturday, went to a great seminar, showed Belle at one and rushed to get to Longview by four. Once we got to Longview, I sold my pig, unloaded Belle, and slept for a good twenty-four hours. But the Progress Show was by far one of the best shows I have ever shown at, I met such great people and great showman. We had a few months until January which meant Fort Worth Stock Show was going to come up fast. Limiting the feed and additives got Belle close to the weight we wanted her to be, I guess we did well because we got seventh in class. I learned how to blow dry Belle the correct way, and make her look like a million bucks. During FWSSR I watched how many techniques people had to showing and grooming their heifers. This may be off topic, but I rode in an Uber and

The narrative of Silver Linings Playbook is formed in the heart of Philadelphia around a middle class family at it’s breaking point. Pat’s, the protagonist, family has very much shaped his current situation; he has clinical bipolar disorder and struggles with stress-induced manic outbursts. After Pat’s release from a mandated rehabilitation center, he handles the next recuperating stage of his life in a similar way as a quarterback looking to make the next big play on the field; watching for possible blitzes and passes, anything to get the ball into the end zone, or in Pat’s case, to get in position for his life to get back on track, and

This was an extraordinary movie that showed the homely small-town moral values through glossy studio production. I really enjoyed this movie. It has very quickly become one of my favorite movies of all times. The characters were very good. I thought this movie to be beautifully told and acted, with Reed, Barrymore, and other ensemble members perfectly cast. The actors were very convincing. George Bailey was an ordinary guy. An example of this was went he was at the train station waiting for his brother, Harry. He said, "Do you know what the three most exciting sounds in the world are?…Hanker chains, plane motors, and train whistles." He appreciated small things like that. I think that Jimmy Stewart played the role of George

After the introduction given by Jordan, we follow his life from the time that he is 22 years old when he had just started on wall street, all the way to the time of his arrest. Throughout the movie, you can see Jordan’s narcissistic personality aid him in his rise to the top and eventually lead to his fall.

The Big Short is a movie about the crash of the housing market in 2008. This economic crisis of 2008 is similar, but different, than the economic crisis of the Great Depression in 1929. They were both an economic downfall creating panic in the US economy.

The film, Million Dollar Baby, is a very powerful story of a young woman by the name of Maggie. While she experienced a very difficult upbringing, Maggie had never lost sight of her goals, and is living proof that anyone can overcome any obstacle that they may be faced with.

Dunn was well renowned in the world of fighting for his style and persistence and had brought many men into the ring with promise of a national title, but wanted nothing to do with a woman fighter. Maggie

“Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser,” Vince Lombardi once said. This saying could be the unsung anthem of American sports for children and teenagers. Everyone loves to win. In sports there is always competition. Is there too much emphasis on “the win” for kids and teens? This issue is important because it essentially develops the way children and teenagers think and react; it will affect them later on in life. Too much emphasis on winning is a problem because there is extensive pressure from parents and coaches, and the consequences can be severe.

“The Winner Within” is about a life plan for team players and what it takes to be a successful team. Each chapter is based on one subject, and that subject is one of the many things that a team needs to be successful. Pat Riley shares his game plan for team players in all of life, not just on the court. All of the strategies in this book are very inspiring and motivate teamwork. I think that the first chapter in the book, ‘The Innocent Climb’, is one of the most important concepts you have to have on a team. The innocent climb is the surge that occurs within a team as they are accomplishing more because of the synergy that occurs within a team. Innocence means understanding that the team comes first and being carried along by that.
