Ideas
Competition when taken
too seriously can cause
negative and lasting
effects on those involved.
Winning is not everything because
a person needs family to succeed
Winning is not as important as family
because a person needs family to succeed.
Pressure from family members can cause
negative and lasting impacts on those involved.
General quotes and techniques

"When you eat ice-cream, the fat in the ice-cream becomes fat in
your body, so if you eat a lot of ice cream, you might become fat"
"Don't listen, honey, he's sick
and he doesn't know what
he's..."

"If there is one thing in this world I
hate, it's losers. I despise them.
"There's two kinds of people in this
world, there's winners and there's losers."
"And I thought there's something so wrong with that
attitude ... Something so demeaning and insulting as
referring to any other person as a loser ... I wanted to
attack the idea that in life, you're either going up or
down.
"Look there's no sense in entering a contest if you
don't think you're going to win. So do you think that
you can win Little Miss Sunshine? Are you gonna win?!"
