But in practice, if often comes down to not suffering a loss as big as the huge gain you made a while ago.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've had losses in my career before, and I've always come back stronger from those losses.
Prefer a loss to a dishonest gain; the one brings pain at the moment, the other for all time.
By use you possess gain; by disuse you decline and lose.
You may lose by it now and then, but it will be a loss well gained if you do.
Losses have propelled me to even bigger places, so I understand the importance of losing. You can never get complacent because a loss is always around the corner. It's in any game that you're in - a business game or whatever - you can't get complacent.
Loss is so paradoxical: It is at once enormous and tiny.
Loss is inevitable - you have to be blind or naive to think otherwise.
Sometimes a loss is the best thing that can happen. It teaches you what you should have done next time.
You must lose everything in order to gain anything.
Sometimes the best gain is to lose.
