The Winner Has Many Friends, While The Loser Has…

[OzoIgboNdu1 of Igbo Defender]

‘The winner has many friends, while the loser has good friends.’

– Mongolian Proverb

Does this mean that winners don’t have good friends at all? What message do you think this proverb is trying to pass accross?

[OzoIgboNdu1 of Igbo Defender]

It reminds me of John Kennedy’s statement that ‘defeat is an orphan, but victory has a thousand fathers.’

@cake it’s trying to tell us no one likes to associate with failure. When someone is doing well he or she will have a lot of people that would want to associate with him or her it is then you will be hearing I know him or her from Adam, he or she is my brother uncle cousin brother sister but when the person is doing otherwise, even someone that knows him or her will be dodging him or her in public. That reminds me of this Yoruba proverb that says “owo epo laye n banila won o kin banila teje” which means it’s hands with oil that people will follow you to leak they won’t follow you leak hands with blood.

Well said @omaonu. And thanks for this new proverb, which I have added to my mental library of proverbs.

The winner normally has a lot of people who are coming because of the money, and the loser has few friends that are there despite the fact that there is no money.

@cake you are doing well

[Omaonu]

@potal in some cases losers do not see anybody

[Potal]

@omaonu you are right. Yes in some cases

Wow! What an interesting topic. Well done guys.
Nowadays, no money no recognition, no friends. That’s the sad reality…

[Omaonu]

@pink it’s a sad reality but then something can be done about it.

[Omaonu]

@potal yes in some cases and in most cases failure has zero people.
