yes we all fail in life!. that is what helps us learn about people and thingsWww@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, I do!. I've played tennis for 45 years and I've attained a reputation for being good at it!. This was not done without a lot of failures along the way!. I've often made references to the sport when describing circumstances in life and business!.
This actually reminds me of a TV commercial with Michael Jordan, whom some consider the greatest basketball player of all time, as he lists some of his failures -such as the number of times he had teammates rely on him to take the last shot, only to miss!. The message is that greatness is never instantaneous -you have to work for it (or as the commercial says "just do it")!.
No greatness is ever achieved in anything without having failed at times!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

!.!.!.what good is succeeding all the time!.!.!.it looses it's allure!.!.!.so, yes, one must become a good loser in order to remain competitive and practiced

I once saw a Television show where this "not-so-good" poker player supposedly died and went to poker heaven where he would win every card game he ever played!.!.!.but after a while he got bored and no matter how hard he tried, he could not loose!.!.!.not one game!.!.!.he complained to "management" and said he wanted some challenges and "management said!.!.!."But I thought you loved to win"!.!.!.then the poker player said!.!.!."Not every time!.!.!. whats the fun in that !? What kind of Heaven is this anyway!?"!.!.!.and management replied, "Who said this was Heaven!.!.!.you're at the other place for all eternity !"Www@QuestionHome@Com

Absolutely!. Losses build character (charm and charisma), sportsmanship (generosity), focus, and an appreciation for the hard work that goes into winning!. In other words, losses instill true love for the game!. What could be better!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

How can you know you have succeeded in what you do if you have not failed first!? You have to have both failure and success to appreciate them both!.
Failure only makes you strive for a better outcome!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I daresay there is no life that doens't have its share of both!. Failing is rarely fun but it offers lessons and as long as we learn from our falls then we garner what we need to get it right the next chance we get!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Both success and failure are inevitable in life!. Being a "good player" is determined by perception!. The key is not giving up and trying to fulfill your potential!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

a good player has his head in the game knowing what to do from experience and practice, so yes it is necessary to fail from time to time in order to even know how to playWww@QuestionHome@Com

Child geniuses who have everything rarely amount to much!. It is not failure they need, unless they are going to deal with large numbers of people, but sincere effort!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Absolutely, every person I know that has had to work to become successful has said that to me,Www@QuestionHome@Com

To embrace both success and failure as equal imposters in life makes for a well balanced personality!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
