“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

To children that become angry or they despair them for a failure it is said: “You don't know what in the life it needs to know how to lose?
You have to learn to lose if you want to be able to win”. To adults it is not said anymore.
Not because they have learned but because they fear so much to lose that is even avoided to speak about it to exorcize the possibility that this may really happen.
The ability of losing is the professional ability less quoted and more removed.
One theorizes the learning through the error (being wrong is learned) but one doesn't prepare oneself to manage the defeat, the failure, and the non-confirmation.
The culture of guaranties has produced one diffused “syndrome of welfare” for guilt of which the safety in every field is considered due, the opportunities of success they have to be equal for everybody and proper for the tastes of each.
The paths of career become therefore a pretension; the medals in the competitions reach those “of consolation.”
Reality comes so deformed and inverted: if to win is a right, losing becomes an injustice and the equal opportunities they are reduced to equal guarantees.
Horrible boredom, life disguised by reasonableness, elevated depression to way of living; not more fields of game and battle, more tonic stress and tension before a competition and not more to live in slope, to go against the tide and to move before the stakes:
what waits us it is a circular footstep of athletics where the turns are all equal ones and you understand that you have won only if somebody else slap a flag to your side.
It is really the to know to lose that gives taste to the life. It is the defeat that, burning, it doubles the energy.
It is the awareness that every action and every feeling are precious in direct proportion to the in demand appointment to deserve and to defend it that turns people into personality protagonists.
If the defeat is one of the alternatives of the life, the loss it is one of the possibilities of the game, the failure it is the 50% of the result in the job.
Who forgetful this reality will be never the seed that dies for reviving ear, the explorer that also returns back ten times to discover the path that brings to the treasure, neither the boy that has sold newspapers, accumulating hunger and anger enough to work per diem the 18 hours that they will make him from adult a successfully multimillion entrepreneur.
