I always hear my grandpa say this "Sometimes you win,sometimes you lose." I always laugh at him when he say that because he always lose.He always play with my brother and our neighbor every afternoon.Sometimes,my brother could not accept when he loses.He always want to win and sometimes he can't sleep because of it and gets angry easily.He should accept the fact that he can not win everyday.How about you guys?Do you accept losing?

Teaching a child to be a gracious loser is one of the most difficult things to teach a child, but I also believe that it is one of the most important lessons that we have to teach a child.
My son has been playing baseball since he was four years old (he is six years old now) and as a result of his playing ball, he's had the opportunity to learn how to lose and he is just as good a loser as he is a winner. Of course he would rather win all the time, but he does realize that it is not possible to always be a winner.

Well you have to talk to him and he has to understand for himself but if he is stubborn about it it's really not time for he to learn. That's a thing he needs to change for himself. He'll get very, very disappointed in life because we certainly always find our match, someone better or simply that day is not our day to win.

To be honest, of course I always want to win. Not that I'm a sore loser, but it's just that I think it should have at least be a compensation for me doing my best. I do of course realize that in real life, I cannot always be the winner; by the same manner that I cannot always be the loser. We learn a lot in life in both winning and losing. Each one is a new experience and we must try to learn everything that we could. Sometimes though, the state of winning or losing is subjective. Sometimes in life, the person with the most money or the most successful career isn't always the winner.

It can not be avoid that people lose from time to time, we should accept it. Everyone want to be a winner, without loser how comes winner. Feel free to the result. God is fair, people always have ups and downs.

It's difficult to accept a loss most especially if you've done your best to win. I think I am one of those people who can't accept losses easily. I cry over it but I know that your grandfather is right - there will be times when you'll "win" and you'd "lose".
But there are times too when losing is easily forgiven or accepted, it's when the value or worth of that thing lost (or perhaps the game or something) is not that high. Like losing on a game or losing on a bet. It's not something that I wouldn't accept right away, though, it's always good to win!
Have a great mylot experience ahead!
