Sometimes being a winner is hard. Everyone looks up you,
expecting that flicker of greatness in every facet, in every turn, in every
action. Glitches may be magnified, misdemeanors exaggerated.
The winner should be meek as any form of complaint from her
may be misinterpreted as an act of being boastful or an unconscious struggle
to control the current situation. Submissiveness and pseudo-humility is one way of describing the “ideal” winner
attitude that most of the society dictates.
The non-winners may have high affinity for sourgraping,
believing every move of the winner, even if valid, is a step against equality
or should I say, their equality. It
obvious that the winners of a competition are not selected by luck but on a
form of ballot or may be judged by setting criteria so all still have equal
chances of winning. It then all boils down to your work, not the number of
entries a participant sends.
In any competition, organizers are the primary guideline-making
authority. Should there be contest of their guidelines or a negative feedback
by a certain sector, they must carefully consider the repercussions and the
validity of the complaint. Once determined valid, the action taken should then
be, at least, as much as possible be sound. It shall ensure equal protection of
the interests of all and not only by those of the complainants.
