Day forty-one, loser

How do you define it?
Winning?
Yes, by score, time, points, awards?
Well, yeah, isn't that the idea?
Once I was sure, today, I am not so sure.
Why, what happened?
I lost.
Everybody loses.
Not everybody competes.
Those that do, will lose.
But if I know what winning means to me, and, to be clear, it has nothing to do with traditional values, but more like giving maximal effort, setting high goals, committing to the challenge of a disciplined chase and finding sustainable motivation, will I still be branded a loser?
Yes. But no.
One of our great misunderstandings, a perfect paradox. You have to lose to win. Society will rule you a loser, how your heart rules is what counts.
Lombardi?
He added the don't quit part.
