Honestly, depending on what stage i'm at in my life, my opinion on plastic surgery changes. i've never been against plastic surgery - i'm against bad plastic surgery. i'm against the overuse of plastic surgery.
Opinion Plastic Stage
Winning is only important in war and surgery.
Basketball War Winning
It's important to remember that world war ii was experienced very much as a continuity in that sense. most of world war ii in most of europe wasn't a war; it was an occupation. the war was at the beginning and the end, except in germany and the soviet union, and even there really only at the end. so the rest of time it's an occupation, which in some ways was experienced as an extension of the interwar period. world war ii was simply an extreme form, in a whole new key, of the disruption of normal life that began in 1914.
War Important World
Winning has a joy and discrete purity to it that cannot be replaced by anything else. winning is important to any man's or woman's sense of satisfaction and well-being. winning is not everything; but it is something powerful, indeed beautiful, in itself, something as necessary to the strong spirit as striving is necessary to the healthy character.

If donald trump dismantles the agreement [the "iran nuclear deal"] won by president barack obama with president hassan rouhani and the iranian government and people: if he dismantles that, and puts greater sanctions on iran, then we are leading to another war; another war inspired by israel, another war that will bring china into war, russia into war, europe into war. and the western world, in this war, will be taken completely down, and a whole new world is on the horizon.
War Taken Russia
For me, life is about continuously being hungry. it's meaning is not simply to just exist or to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer. strength does not come from winning. your struggles develop your strengths. when you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. we all have great power. that power is self-faith. there's really an attitude to winning. you have to see yourself winning before you win. and you have to be hungry. you have to want to conquer.
