How do you define a WINNER and a LOSER?

Is life about winning and losing? How do we categorize if one person is a winner or a loser? Should we base our judgement on how the person was able to succeed in life by looking at what kind of house they live in? what kind of work they had? or what level in the society they are in? I always thought about living a simple life. Having a happy family is all I care about. I was not focused on having so much on material things. I can say, I was not very demanding. But when I get a chance to see the life of other people, relatives and friends- (upon browsing at my facebook account, listening to stories)I saw how elegant their lives has become. Having big houses, beautiful dresses, being able to go to different countries, big and elegant parties, cars and much more...makes me think...would this people ever think that I am a loser just because I have a much simple life than they do? If I would be asked to categorize myself, I feel I am already a winner. Having a simple dream, I was able to get all I wished for which sometimes makes me ask myself, Should I wish for more? I am afraid that others would not see things the way I see them which makes me wonder, How do we really define a WINNER or a LOSER? Please share your views.

A winner is someone who defies all of the odds and comes out on top of things,. A loser is someomen who bever tries ans fails in the attempt before it is started.

I can only tell about my opinion. A winner is a hard-working person who can overcome the battles they face and who stays with their principles. A loser is that who won't do anything to have success and is whining and complaining and blaming other people for his failure, and can't lose gracefully.

We have different views about who is a winner and a loser. However, there is a basic principle or characteristic a winner and a loser have. A winner is someone who did the best he can in a certain vision or dream. A loser is someone who doesn't have a vision in life, therefore, nothing to achieve. For me, a person is a winner when he had grown and achieve his or her potential. I don't consider someone who have lots of money or things but fails in more important areas of life.

Different people have different view upon winner and loser. Some people may be a winner on work, but a loser in life. we define a winner from many aspects, such as money, happiness, achivement,...so many things. If you think from other view, you will find a winner is not so perfect as that person will be a loser in other aspect. winner and loser are two concept and they depend on how we define them. I am a winner on study and a loser on work. But life is promising. Living a simple life is a good thing, which means you are satisfied.
