Lose to win

stand.fm

Hello, everyone. How are you today?　
This is Teacher Asuka.

Today, I'm going to think about worth losing.

We live in a competitive world in a way.
Most of us feel confident and proud when we win a tough competition. Athletes tend to pursue victory because they are judged on their own performance. Winning itself is important to them.

However, it is not so easy to win when the competition is very tough. You lose so many times to win such a tough race. If you think like that, you will find that losing is part of winning.

The British writer, Oliver Goldsmith, once said,
'Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.'

A lot of people tend to think that losing is embarrassing. They don't want to experience that.
We should think that we lose to win. I mean, losing is necessary in order to win. Losing teaches us a lot of things, such as planning, training, the way of thinking and gaining knowledge that is suitable for winning. It's useful to make the most of the things that we learn from losing.

The most important thing is to keep growing and also never give up to achieve our goals.
I would say that is the secret of success!

Thank you for staying with me as always.
See you next time!
