"When you lose, don’t lose the lesson." - Dalai Lama

We divide “winners” and “losers” into foolish and selfish silos: good, bad, disgrace and victory at all costs. “The lesson” isn’t a strategy for the next win; the real lessons ask, where was I blind or deaf to the entire reality? Whose voice didn’t I hear? Whose broken heart needs mending with kindness and resolve to deep caring? Leave wins and losses on playing fields; real change demands no separation and no score keeping.
