I hate to lose, but when I do, I learn more than when I win. Why? For me, I know that I dont bother to review my game when I win, but when I lose, I cant wait to correct my mistakes. I guess the only question is this: Did I play a perfect game? Im sure I did not; so why dont I look to correct my mistakes when I win? What's your take?

Some of us are less virtuous than others.

It's true for me too; we learn more by losing.  It's similar to the phrase "we learn the hard way."  Children learn the hard way too, and why will it be different for adults?  Nice name there--Eugenics.  I thought that branch of genetics was discredited already?  Wink
