The Winning Spirit of Island Paints

Treasure Island Industrial Corporation joined its annual Mandaue Manufacturer’s sportsfest event. It is an intercompany event which employees from the different firms to interact through sports.

I enjoyed that Sunday morning, where all I see are bright smiles of the Treasure Island people. They practiced the cheer with the lyrics that goes like this, “Ang Island Paints, bisan baho, maningkamut mubarug,mutindug arun...blah blah..”, oh well, I don’t know what’s next. Hahaha

The most important thing in a game or events like these is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the victory but the struggle and perseverance and the fighting spirit. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well. I was happy I was part of that event. It was the first time I experienced such event of me, being the Island Paints muse... Oh well, because we didn’t have other option or it was the last minute thing.

Island Paints volleyball team (girls) are very energetic. By the way, we won in VOLLEYBALL (Girls). So what is really a true winner? Even if we didn’t get any awards for the best in cheers, uniforms, or muse (haha), for me, we are still winners. Umm.. if you really think about it, it is very humiliating to be a loser... For most people, winning or getting the first prize matters, but it really doesn’t reflect all of the other talents that participate, who are as well equally talented, but not as perfected in that match that day.

So you really think, that even if we “LOSE” in that sense, like not getting any award that day, we suck? I don’t think so. I just think it is the appreciation and the cooperation of all the players that work so hard to perfect the team. If you can’t accept to LOSE, then you are not worthy to win!
Hey guys, next year’s event like this, let’s be more prepared and do better.... Aja! Fighting!
