What It Takes to Be Number One
It must not be assumed that winning is necessarily constructive or moral, nor is it, in and of itself, a political philosophy to be blindly followed. By itself, the act of winning says nothing about the underlying methods used or the attributes, principles, or ethics of the actors involved regarding any particular issue. A CEO may be dedicated to winning for his company (winning in this case defined, say, as simply making more money), but the means of winning could fall anywhere on the spectrum from honesty to deceit and corruption.

A good sportsman is someone who can face a loss with dignity, or a victory with humility. At the heart of good sportsmanship is the Golden Rule -- the rule that says we should treat others in the same way we would want them to treat us. It's a concept that can be found in some variation in nearly every religion and ethical tradition. Without it, life is devoid a necessary component to building and maintaining healthy human relationships. Good sportsmanship takes these mores and unequivocally declares that winning is not everything. Winning never takes precedence over principled action.
