Win or Loose

"Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday." - Wilma Rudolph


Hi Webbers,

How are you? I am crazy busy as usual. I am living a blessed and amazing life. I don't have enough time in a day to finish most things. They roll over to the next day get pushed aside and I will get to it later.

Part of my day today was studying about a Win - Win attitude as taught by Franklin Covey. Now here it is towards the end of the day and life throws the lesson right up at me.

I work in a business where I take a lot of losses throughout the day sometimes even the wins seem like a loss. There was a time when this bothered me and stressed me to the max. I enjoy winning and realize I cannot be the #1 choice for my clients all the time. These are business decisions of course and sometimes the client doesn't want the best. They will settle on price. I always wish them luck and hope it works out for them and that I am there should they reconsider.

Tonight after closing one computer and moving to the next then realizing I need to take a shower from an earlier hair cut I received today. My daughter asked for a race. I had to oblige. Now I am that dad that believes in raising my child up and letting her win all the time. This was the first time I actually with intent beat her. To my amazement she said I cheated. I asked her how I cheated. I was shocked and needed to understand. I have seen this pattern when her and her mom play. She stated I was faster. I asked - how does that make me a cheater? She said because I run faster. I had to giggle to myself and explain to her that sometimes as much as we want to win we can only do our best.. If we push our self to our limit and not held anything back. We may have lost the race but we have won our personal challenge and that was not to give up.

My training has taught me to never give up. I hope to transfer that to my daughter. I have been told my whole life that I cannot do a lot of things. I have always been determined to do them. The best part of the lesson was after understanding and explaining this to my daughter she wanted a rematch.

She is a very fast runner and I will have to oblige. I bet she wins "wink, wink"
