Winning might not be everything…but failures…definitely have something to recommend it…But who says…that someone can fail…basically its always a win – win situation…in fact…your desire to win grows once you fail…you start concentrating on improving yourself and the only thing that happens is your improvement…This is the way that makes you a true winner…Take an example…Aussies are the favs in cricket…but 20-20 is won by India…Aussies accepted the defeat…and this failure did not bring them down…they have recently registered a huge victory over India by 9 wickets…Now that’s about cricket…In real life, there will be instances when you will come across situations, where you have to accept set-backs…under such circumstances, one should accept it for the time-being…work on your mistakes…improve yourself…and get back with new improved cards…so this is winning all about…learning from failures…improving yourself…and serve the purpose…after all…even after failing…you have that “junoon” to win…
After all…failures capacity is exactly why venture capitalists often look for managers to run startups whose resumes include experience with a flop…One such example is Virgin management…which has managers…who had once failed and were overlooked by other companies because of failures in career…but these are much better than repetitive winners…
All it requires is to reframe the thinking style…most of the people seek positive outcomes and set about to prove that an experiment works…but designers, inventors and scientists (I call them the logic lovers), struggling to be more creative, take the opposite track…they focus on potential flaws that brought the failure…here what is missing is…the understanding that…failures provide more learning than winning…even they realize this with time…and emerge out to be winners…the only important factor over here is to provide them that sufficient time…
Now come to the other side of the coin…winners...no comments...they are only recommended...if they really deserved that...and didnot win due to miskakes of others...
Thus…its always a WIN-WIN situation…after all, failure is never permanent…it is just a state……if one can understand this…he can definitely prepare to win…

Small suggestion. Don;t know if you are planning on blogging in future. However, please write in complete sentences. Splitting up ideas by "...." makes it difficult and annoying to read such a large post. For orkut posts or e-mails its fine, but blogs are like essays. Not criticizing but just suggesting :)
suggestions accepted
