It could be, depending on how you define winning -- like a person who trains for a 10k race because his goal is to complete. Completion is winning. I wandered in accidentally only to recognize Sue Waters and Michele Martin's names. Often I talk about going three clicks out as I read blogs -- finding a link in a post and clicking; finding a second link there; finding a third. By the time I do that, I'm usually <i>well</i> out of my usual neighborhood, which increases the odds I'm going to learn something. “Aspirations of winning?” It could be, depending on how you define winning — like a person who trains for a 10k race because his goal is to complete.

The challenge should be internal for each one of us. Some need more external motivation for such a challenge than others. I like your comparison to taking time to smell the roses. Looking forward to reading more from you. Caroline,

I have no aspirations of winning. To me this is more personal than anything else and it will hopefully become something I do on a more consistent basis. Kind of like taking the time to smell the roses. I’ve never participated in anything like this before, but I think I’m in need of a challenge. I have no aspirations of winning.
