in life, there are winners and there are losers.. or is there really? or is it just a gimmick for people to tell themselves and others that, its ok, dont cry there are other day to get what you want.. cos think about it..
in life, there are always going to be people better than you, always achieving more than you, in 1 way or the other.. and yeah, this means you are going to lose.. but then again, you win something too..win something in a sense you had some take away from the whole event..
you lose a soccer match 2-1.. yes you lose. but you gain more experience and you realize that more work needs done along the centre and your flanks must be able to run faster.. so yeah from there, your take away of those lessons learnt and improve on it.. then of course if your team won 2-1, you tend to be more complacent or just choose to ignore things and take it that there isnt much to improve in the team and you dont exactly learn anything crucial..
and that is when you get beaten by a better team and you asked yourself, what happened? im not exactly sure but i think in general, everybody lose all the time.. why did he choose to take train instead of the bus? so that he would unkowingly able to avoid an accident that came upon the bus but if he had taken the bus instead, that accident would introduce him to this stranger girl whom he would fall in love with..or she was suppose to submit her report today but decided to submit it the day after cos dateline was the day after and she will have time to edit it and make it better.. but end up, her data got corrupted and has to redo all over again..
but you see, in all these situations and scenarios, you are able to learnt something from it and have what i call a take away..of course, lesson learnt are definitive by nature and some ppl see it from a different angle, but at least, its something to take away. something to bring back and remember and use that knowledge for future use.. like, backing up your report etc.. my pt is, no matter what you do, you still end up losing something but overall, if you're able to see the bigger picture, you won something and that's what important.
