The first installment is about a word I first came across in Steven Pressfield's "Warrior Ethos."
Andreia - a Greek word for manly virtue that means prizing valor and honor as highly as victory.
In this day and age, there are many people, specifically athletes, who will win at any cost and have devalued sportsmanship and many other morals along the way. Some people hold values true to their heart, however they do not "win" quite as much as the spectators would like them to.
I propose this question to you, the reader, is it worth it to take the high road? Would you rather win than have a clean conscience? Why or why not hold yourself to a code of honor if it means sacrificing a victory?
