We've lost our ability to lose.

We now live in a world with no winners, no losers. We live in a world that teaches children that if you do not win, then there is a problem with the game or the rules, the refs, the system, ect......  Losing is one of the greatest teachers in life. Losing is many times more important than winning. Learning how to deal with losing, how to go back to the drawing board, how to get back on that horse. How to come back stronger and better than ever. We lose that when we lose the ability to lose in life. When everyone gets a trophy. When others are to blame for our failiors, we lose our chance to better ourselves. 

  Is it any wonder that socialism is so popular today? If everyone is held back, it appears to the weak and simple minded that we all have won. When in fact we have all just admitted defeat. We've admitted that the real world is to difficult. We must teach our children how to lose and how to overcome before it's to late.
