americans love to celebrate a winner and love to remind losers that they are losers until they win. it is too bad we do not focus on celebrating the experience of competition rather than just victory. within the the last month, some well-publicized futility streaks have come to an end. marty scorsese finally won his first best director oscar in five nominations and also best film. peyton manning and tony dungy hoisted the super bowl trophy that has eluded their entire careers until last month. even al gore and italian score composer ennio morricone got to taste receiving oscar. it is nice to see some folks persevere through all the frustration of consistently losing out the big prize to someone else earlier in their careers, and finally, through persistent effort and determination get to experience that winning feeling. cheers guys.
