Playing a Game Is Fun Only When You Win?
Some people argue that athletes, while playing games, should adhere to the principle “Friendship first, competition second”, and that is the true sportsmanship. Should we give up competing for the sake of friendship?
Personally, I disagree with this point of view. There is no denying that competitors should be friendly with each other. However, the primary goal of every player, after hard training for a year or two, is to win the game. His/Her sole motivation, either during the training or in the race, is prompted by a looming hope and a prospective
championship. Be it a chess game or a competition of weight-lifting or a race of a hundred-meter dash, the case is always true. If he/she wins the game, high rewards, flowers and honor will pile upon him/her. If he/she loses once o twice, he/she will become less courageous for the third time. In addition to that, several losses may beat him/he down, and his/her next battle, if he/she is daring to fight, will probably be a fiasco.
So, in my opinion, the fun or happiness of playing a game lies in the athlete's ultimate achievement of the goal. W, all know Napoleon's famous saying that he who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier. I agree that an unambitious athlete is not a real athlete.

“友谊第一,比赛第二”是运动场上的常规原则,如果按此原则行文的话就会使文章显得平淡。写作的时侯可以打破常规原则,认为比赛就是要赢,而作为运动员就是要有竞争意识。首先要明确自己的观点,然后分析自己的观点,文章可以借用拿破仑的名言“不想当元帅的士兵不是一个真正的士兵”,以此说明“没有雄心的运动员就不是—个真正的运动员”,使论述有力,让人信服。
