... of losing

"Losing's a bitch."

Damn right, Donald Trump. Nobody takes a liking to losing. Never have I've seen anyone who cared for a game so much, lost, and still be able to keep cool. Let's see...

Donald Trump? That's right, let's take the boardroom for our first example. How is it that a team that has been winning constantly have not much qualms about anything turn so suddenly and eager to bite at the point of losing? Threat of elimination the cause - why not? But they lost. As simple as that.

The opening phrase was quoted from Mr Trump himself, which brings us to our second example. In the corporate world, people who work absolutely well with each other will start to blame each other in the event of failure, and I quote again, "all the time".

Local settings... local settings...

LAN gaming. Everyone loves a good game now and then. Of course, with good there's always the bad, and people just can't seem to accept it. It's a rosy world where everyone's a winner, isn't it? HA! What used to be infuriating, it now turns amusing and sad to see people starting to curse and swear at the weaker teammates, believing that their cause of loss is not themselves. Amusing because their illogical statements, like a silly character in a comedy to amuse the viewer; sad because how many new players have turned against the culture, and losing so many potential experts.

Soceer is also, how you say... wierd. How is it that classmates can talk to each other well in class, fight and threaten each other at soceer because they think they've lost pride in a game or when they lose, then go back to class, pretending nothing has happened? By all that is good, I have nothing better to describe these people but wierd. THAT'S RIGHT, class of 2B. Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about, wierdos.

Are these people bad? Only for the 2B guys, yes. You see, anger is an important emotion, and losing oft sparks it off. Dissatisfaction, fustration, sense of imcompetency, loss of pride, and maybe sometimes loss of tangible goods. My, these are surprising just few of the things we can lose just by losing! Can we pull ourselves back and say, "Woah! Better control myself before I do anything stupid!"? Nope, 4-letters words are already happily flying from your mouth like Teletubbies hopping around in La La Land.

Trust me, if you find people who can not lose it, those may be worthy friends. And for those who does lose their cool? Forgive them. Like you would of Teletubbies or Spongebob Squarepants.
