Everyone should thrive to be better and improve their judo (or life) and that is why people should focus on how not to loose twice in the same way as you explained. However, some people think that the energy that they would spend learning how not to loose is not worth it because they have other interests in judo/life. That is also why not everyone goes to the Olympic games and wins international championships. They do not WANT it as much as their competition.<br />The question that follows is: If people keep loosing and are not that good, should they stop doing judo and going to competitions even if they are not the very best? Is it ok to loose and still have fun practicing and competing in judo? This is because there is only one winner per competition and a bucket of losers. People should be better and not accomodate with failure but the number of losers will always be much higher than the one gold medalist.<br />For all of this. Win if you are able, but if you loose it is not the end of the world and there are other things in life. <br />This said, I agree 90% with you that people should "want more" to do things and get them through to the end without making excuses for their failures. However, I think that people also need a good dose of perspective and loosing one medal in a judo competition is not the end of the world. It just means that there is space for improvement, and that cannot be that bad. Life would be pretty borring if we would only do what we are good at. Challenges are what keeps us going, and when you are learning, you loose a lot of times. If you hate yourself every time that you "loose", then it is a life full of hating moments. People may prefer something different.Jorge Almeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578456951846190064noreply@blogger.com
