Winning or losing does not matter to me . (Unless you are paid professional) It is how you play the game . If you have to manipulate the truth or the issues on how to win then I do not see that as a winning team.

 Truth ,facts, honesty is how we play the game and win or lose we know we did our best. Also remember that no one is perfect , you will make mistakes so own up to them.  This is what matters most .
