Losing should not be seen as merely a failure to win.
Losers run into the same trials and errors as winners.
The loser simply wasn't as fast, strong, smart, or lucky enough. I recently ran to be one of three freshman class representatives in the Student Senate. I got a bunch of my friends to help me put up posters, and generally got my classmates aware that I was running. A friend of mine told me I should go and do the same at Complex. I scoffed saying the election was mine.
