I love this non-defeatist attitude!  In life, we are not always going to get what we want, but do we have to call it losing? No, if we are smart, we can call it learning and making the entire ordeal a learning experience.  I try my best to learn from each and every experience regardless of the outcome.  I feel that I am a better person for it.  Next time things don’t turn out as you had hoped, remember the above saying “I never lose…either I win or I learn.”
