We have raised a generation of kids who won't know the difference between winning and losing because everyone gets a trophy just for participating. That's very good for the "trophy industrial complex," as Ashley Merryman calls it, but bad for our kids.

Merryman is co-author with Po Bronson of "Top Dog: The Science of Winning and Losing."
