more times then not when this happens, that the winner is so stunned at the
admission that they will teach how they won, where your mistakes were and
how to get better, even taking that person under their wing. Real winners like
a challenge. Chiron taught Hercules and Perseus who both went on to be great
heroes of Greek Mythology. At first they had much to learn and he then could
look at those men and say to himself “I taught them how to be Heroes!”
Grace under fire. Good losers and good winners learn to keep cool. When the
going gets tough, accept it and get tougher. Don’t cry about it. If you want to
dish it out, learn how to take it and do it with style. You will be remembered for
your actions and you do not want to be remembered for tears.

“Know when to give
up. This is not that
same as quitting.
Quitting is not trying.
There is no shame
when you give your
best, 100 percent and
still can’t do it. “

So learn how to lose, turn your momentary adversity into the springboard for
future opportunity to roleplay and perhaps, to win. It may take a few tries to go
from underdog losing to champion winning. The loser is the one who does not
know how to lose and those who quit before trying their best.
Thomas Edison said “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
If he had quit after not winning, we might reading by candle light. Albert Einstein failed the entrance exams to university (no he did not fail math) yet went
on to be known as a genius in Physics.
If at first you don’t succeed, try try again.
