| 560271 | 2007-06-17 23:01:00 | Hello Everyone, I have a school project coming up on why losing is better than winning. I have to negate this (its a debate) and i need statistical data to prove most people believe winning to be better than losing. So i would appreciate it greatly if you could fill out the poll with either option. Thanks TB Ps: sorry for accidentally making 2 threads i didnt add the poll to the 1st one sorry |

| 560273 | 2007-06-18 00:35:00 | Losing or winning what? I dont really care whether I lose or win. Even tho I dont know, what I'm winning or losing anyway. Actually I dont have or do anything, I have to win or lose against. |

| 560274 | 2007-06-18 00:51:00 | If you want reasons why losing might be considered better than winning, ask Helen. Her government have been trying to re-engineer NZ society to that mode of thought for quite a number of years now!! :angry :groan: | johcar (6283) | ||
| 560275 | 2007-06-18 00:59:00 | thanks for the idea johcar, but i really need ideas to argue winning is better than losing because im negating? Thanks a bunch tho | Tyroneb (11728) | ||
| 560276 | 2007-06-18 01:38:00 | I'd say the other side have the hard part. Lets see: Lotto - winning is better, self evident isn't it? Olympics - ditto Sports - as above War - as above and so on |

| 560278 | 2007-06-18 01:54:00 | Hi Tyroneb . Just pop winning versus losing - or similar in to Google . You'll get plenty to read and draw on . Such as this from a football coach . . . 1 . Winning is a function of knowing what game you are playing You've got to know the rules of the game . You've got to know who the other players are . 2 . A Winning season is only possible if the game and season are defined Applying the law of periodization is critical for high-performance AND the key to sustainability in your work as a coach . (if the game is always on, you are probably burning out) To win you must know when the game is over; when the season is over; celebrate wins and debrief wins and losses . Note: Periodization is the quality of recurring at intervals . 3 . Winning requires that you are ALWAYS keeping score but NEVER looking at the scoreboard while the game is on . You will craft a scorecard for your work that will challenge you and inspire you every day . Then you begin to create a winning game plan on game day . When you start using this technique with clients . . . WOW! You will be amazed . 4 . Winning is a function of your environments It's VERY hard to win in a hostile environment . Most people play in an environment that is hostile to the games they are trying to win . When you build support from the world around you your game will come alive and so will you . 5 . Winning is a function of your mental and emotional frameworks Awareness is everything!! Your physical and mental attitude confine and refine what you do and don't do . You will only select strategies and make plays that fit within your current framework . Is your framework serving you? Is it big enough for your game? 6 . Winning is a function of energy The truth about playing to win is that you win some and you lose some . As you learn to honor the natural flow from chaos to order you will avoid losing streaks and your winning percentage will increase . 7 . Winning is a function of playing to your strengths To win consistently you have to "Get real" about your talents and abilities and learn to become masterfully yourself . When you do you will play better and win more games . 8 . Winning is a function of improving your skills through practices An interesting truth to consider is that most of the highest paid people in the world practice WAY more than they play . Do you practice? As you challenge yourself to improve as a player through regular practice, your joy of playing will increase and you will win more games . 9 . Winning always has a price Are you willing to pay it? |

| 560280 | 2007-06-18 03:12:00 | First of I think you need to make yourself clear. Was Bill Gates a loser when he dropped out of school? People in general would think so. Linux and Mac fans seem to think he is a loser. Define winning!!!! Was Paris Hilton a winner until a while ago? I did not ever think she was a winner. Does "winning" a cross country race against me make you better than me? Bear in mind in less than three weeks I will get National Superannuation so I have a little life experience but you should be somewhat faster on your feet I would hope. But for all I know you may be in a wheelchair. In my opinion "winning" beats "losing" . You might put the point "never stop learning." "winning" to me means solving your own problems rather than get others to solve the issue for you. Now you have to take advice from others whether friends, Family, Whanua. Take the responsibilty for your own actions. |
