EditTips

  • Once you stop being personal about defeat, the defeat gets defeated and you get positivity in your mind.
  • Defeat should be strictly connected to the situation ( eg. Game etc) and not people. You are to win a competition and not win against what the opposite person is. Thus, people keep changing as your opponents, your goal should be the game. Then your outlook towards the word defeat shall change.
