Yes.. dis pic shows dat every one wants to be famous as much as every one know them…..So if from any source their pic become publish on a public poster it means dat they become famous,and in dat condition they have to be alone..so it shows dat Winner Always stands Alone.

This one makes me feel like even as an individual, we all play a role in the bigger picture.

This photo doesn't speak to me like the last one, but it still portrays somewhat of a lonesomeness, yet like the last photo it's not a sense that this person is alone in what they're doing, yet merely playing their role in something bigger.

In a world where people strive for shallow perfection – more money, better looks, leaner bodies, etc – is a world filled with people constantly feeding their ego! A negative of course – what’s their true hearts desires??? This is ignored, people are more interested in their status, how well they look compared to the person standing next to them, my car is better then your car… Does this really make people happy or at least fulfilled…? Only for a very short while – these things can’t love you back. They may have sacrificed a great deal to get to this particular point… Look at female celebrities today – more and more botox, plastic surgery, thinner and unhealthy bodies… All soooo shallow!! And surely long term health risks????? How hard they must work or fight to maintain their “top” positioning within soceity? What a waste of time and life.

My point is, not too much of the superficial, balance is the key to true happiness and ALWAYS listening to your true heart’s desire..

if a winner stands alone could it suggest he did all the work. he is strong but in a quiet way, he leads by example.

rolling out the red carpet for an event that might seem open to the world. . .yet because of the celebrity paradoxially. . .the ones that will walking it are more like the woman in the huge black coffin like box, with the woman hiding her eyes(soul)behind the bulky square-ish frames (the movie news making), with the hands making sure the frame of the glasses cover. . .

this an image of truly alone or maybe better expressed; “lonely in spite of it all” . . .the antithesis of the previous image. . .

No veo bien si quita o pone la alfombra? pero esto da igual, es un espectáculo, todo espectáculo tiene un comienzo y un final, sólo la esencia permanece. El otro día soñé que veía un espectáculo, pero desde las gradas, esta foto me recuerda a mi sueño.

The winner only stands alone if they see that the others are losers. The eyes covered with the blindfold is brilliant. How does a winner view a win? How do others view themselves while the ‘winner’ takes the stage? There are days I feel like a winner and days I feel like a loser but feelings can change with a tilt of my head which can give me a different view point. I know I don’t feel alone when I win because I bring all of my relationships, creation connections, and experiences on stage with me with gratitude and well…sometimes humility. Alone stands us all to ponder our hearts…

The Winner Stands Alone… this image gives me a sense that its a lonely road to victory.

Rolling out the red carpet… gives me a sense that you’re a star before anyone shows up for the show. Thanks for this post.

I do think that the winner can stand alone…

what it takes to be that winner; what drive and what it takes out of you; what message you are striving to make – maybe it is one of taboo yet necessary for social development of community and self.

we live in a narcissitic age filled by desire for consumerism, glamour and fame – to be seen – but by who and for what end? its a cycle …
Monroe wanted to be an achiever, to champion, to be the best she could be – yet with that came judgement, criticism, distance, and a pin up status – perhaps part of the winning role, but nothing that says much for a winning status.

there is something in the way that man strives to ‘win’ but in doing so sacrifices something that the common bod embody… departing from their stable paradigm to walk into the unknown first. they are yes, like frontiers… racing to reach something but giving up a whole lot in the process.
after yesterdays ceremony, i really hope that Obama and his family will never be ‘alone’ at the end of the day.

Red Carpet…I think this is all a mind game..

Todays image is very different from yesterday, but I can see how it ties in to the “Winner stands alone”. A person walking on a red carpet is walking on the best path and it leads her/him to the right places. This festival could be one of many places one must go to.

I am fond of some sports.Sometime I follow competitions on tv.e.g.Figure skating.Each year I know the winners,sometimes,most of times I guess who will be the world champion.And,I heard their stories.How many years or training,sacriffices,years of childhood spent in the training place with the coach,not going out with friends.Is same for someone who studies hard.I saw.In school.if u are number one in marks,often u have number zero friends.You are not popular.

I think in the pic is Marilyn Monroe.Maybe I am wrong.You mean the success has it price?Sometimes a star of cinema is more alone than we can imagine.This is alienation.

The red carpet whispers glaze but we never know the feelings behind the glamorous winner. If you are succesfull it doesnt mean you’re happy too. And if you are, what if you lose your luck? Are the closest people really your friend? The famous man never knows if he’s truely beloved or it’s just fake because of the glaze. And there are lots of envious people around them.

I’m not crazy about this picture at all, but the theme – rolling out the red carpet, I suppose – does not make me think of “aloneness” in any sense. When do we see the red carpet rolled out? At Cannes. At Hollywood events. When political dignitaries come to visit, or perhaps the Pope. But never is the red carpet a place where one walks solo. On the contrary, I associate red carpet with lines of limousines waiting to let out their numerous glamorous passengers and huge crowds skirting the periphery, shoving against barricades, pushing to get closer to the rich and famous and “important” people of this world.

In 1977 we went as tourists to France and passed from Cannes. I have a photo on the ….stairs and the red carpet but of course, I was not a ..Winner and I was not standing Alone!!;]
