Philosophy pacifies regrets of the past and encourages to fight fears of the future but it usually doesn't solve problems of the present.

Need doesn't care about being sensible.

Ability does catches my attention, but its a politeness in the person that I remember.

I don't consider those competitions fair where judges get to decide the winner, because selected judges quite often are not worthy or qualified enough to make the right decision.

If you are a winner by the judgements of few judges and not by your performance, you are not a real winner.

Deep in my heart politeness impresses me more than competence.
