SOMETIMES YOU WIN SOMETIMES YOU LOSE/LEARN
My friend Robert Schuller once asked, "What would you attempt to do if you knew you wouldn't fail?" That's a great question, an inspiring question. When most people hear it, they start dreaming again. They are motivated to reach for their goals and to risk more.
I have a question that I think is just as important: what do you learn when you fail?
While people are usually ready to talk about their dreams, they are not well prepared to answer a question about shortcomings. Most people don't like to talk about mistakes and failures. They don't want to confront their losses. They are embarrassed by them. And when they do find themselves falling short, they may find themselves saying something trite, such as "Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose." The message is, Hope to win, expect to lose, and live with the results either way."
