If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost.

Every fight and every loss taught me something.

Defeat has its lessons as well as victory.

I've said many times, 'You learn to win through not liking to lose.' And that's what I mean by learning how to win.

Just as long as something is gained, a lesson is learned. I do like those. The more quiet victories are always great.

I have not lost an awful lot in my life, but the defeats have taught me more than the victories. Whenever I lose, I focus on the ability of my opponent and on the mistakes I made.

I think that it's perhaps harder to learn from victory than it is from defeat. I think that we don't want defeat. We don't want defeat in sport. We don't want defeat in life. How are we going to be beaten? All right. We have to deal with those things. What's going to cause us to lose the game, whatever the game might be?

Constructive criticism is about finding something good and positive to soften the blow to the real critique of what really went on.

In every adversity there lies the seed of an equivalent advantage. In every defeat is a lesson showing you how to win the victory next time.

Sometimes we have criticism that is very constructive.
