Its not the winning that's important, its the taking part that counts. This is true, but its not meant for an already motivated person. What this statement says is that you shouldn't let life pass you by, you should take the chance, get involved - even if you will come last. Who knows what it might lead to - whatever it is might be the start of something new and special.
Its also true that second is the first looser and that there are no prizes for second best, but these statements are meant to motivate those already at the top of their game. The difference is, the first statement is saying have a go - live your life, and the second, well that one urges the already involved to strive for the top.
And so it is. Whatever you do, make the most of the time you have and be the best you can, but don't forget to enjoy the ride.

Have you just watched Any Given Sunday?
naah, it was something on radio2 at 0605 this morning, going on about its not the winning etc etc. Just made me think - we always say all the second is the first looser stuff, and whilst thats also true, we are already in the game and already at the point that cliche is supposed to get you to - all I am saying here is to get out there and do it! push your boundaries! widen your comfort zone, follow all paths with an open mind and you will make mistakes, and some will work out badly, but others wont.
The world is your oyster! now milk it!
do you not mean the world is your teat?
