There is no downside to winning. It feels forever fabulous.
About This Quote
Interpretation
Taken at face value, the line is a punchy celebration of victory’s emotional afterglow: winning produces a kind of durable euphoria that seems to outlast the moment itself (“forever fabulous”). The absolutism (“no downside”) reads as deliberately hyperbolic—more a snapshot of the winner’s intoxication than a sober ethical claim—capturing how triumph can temporarily erase costs, doubts, and complexities. In a Conroy context (often attentive to competitive arenas—sports, family rivalries, professional striving—and to the longing for affirmation), the quote can be read as describing the seductive, even addictive, appeal of success: it offers a rare, uncomplicated feeling of being validated, and that simplicity is precisely what makes it so powerful.
