Finishing first

The BBC website today quotes cyclist Mark Cavendish, after he had been congratulated for finishing as runner-up in a major race:
“Don’t ever, ever, congratulate me on finishing second.”
​I rather like that, as a variant on the old quote that “silver medals were invented to make losers feel better about themselves”, or Bill Shankly’s “First is first: second is nothing”.
We hope you’ve had a successful, winning year with your proposals – and wish all of our readers every happiness for the festive season. See you in 2014!
