Happiness is one of the greatest values of people. Joy is something that keeps the light of life in us and helps us to get up every day and to go to work, to communicate with people, to cook and to sleep. It is difficult to take everything with joy and happiness. The modern world doesn’t allow people to keep good and positive view on the world. And there are only a few people who really take everything as positive events and things. And such people are called optimists.
The joy of the victory

From childhood, parents teach us that victory is not the main in the life of people. They say that it is necessary to learn to loose with dignity and that taking part is much more important than the victory. And that joy must be got through all emotions and efforts you've had during preparation and participation.
But parents don't mention one important thing that is the joy of victory. I bet you've won something, and you know what I am talking about. Victory brings us so many energy and happiness that it can't be compared with any joy of participation.
Victory is the phenomenon that makes people happy. Even if you don't take part in competition or in a game or another life situation but you are the fan of somebody or of the team and they win you also feel the energy of the victory.
Another not less important factor is to learn to win with dignity. You should never humble other participants of the competition as next time you may be on their place.
But one of the features of the joy of victory is that it is carefully kept for a long time. And every time a person remembers it, he/she feels the joy without limits that makes people kinder.
But victory should always be honest and based on positive emotions, as cheating and cruel intentions won't bring that delight that is brought by true victory. This problem is of great importance nowadays as we are the witnesses when sportsmen cheat taking performance-enhancing drugs.
