Losing well is key to learning how to win

Losing well is key to learning how to win
When trying to learn or master a new skill, failure is the best teacher.
Tasting successes early on has the risk of building overconfidence or delusion. Failing early on enables us to examine the effort and improve the next time around.
Loss should not be seen as a personal defeat but rather as a learning opportunity.
