Losing Vs. Winning Poem by Gary Diamond

I think a person can learn a lot more from losing
Than ever could from win after win after win.
Not to say that a winner gains nothing.
But the loser may yet come back stronger.

If you win you did something right
Perhaps many things right.
But usually overlooked something.

With the loser, however.
He made many mistakes
And the most glaring of those he can, with practice
Correct and increase efficiency.
Even if he did some things right, and still lost
Everything he did will be re-evaluated.

Winners get complacent.
Losers get downhearted, but in time get dogged.
And there's nothing better than a hard-earned win.
