A good balance of winning and losing is important. If you just win all the time, you won't get anything out of it; having some tough losses can be really important.

You've got to get to the stage in life where going for it is more important than winning or losing.

Sure, I like to win when I play basketball or board games or video games, but my day isn't ruined if I lose. I'm always up for a rematch. In all seriousness, that's something that's nice about maturing.
No matter what the situation, winning takes care of a lot of stuff. Things are never perfect, even when you win. But it does make for a lot better environment, for sure.
Some times you lose more than you win. It's about handling losses and trying to turn them into positives. You get out into the big leagues and there's a period of adjustment to be made. You've got to handle it.

If you can accept losing, you can't win.
