It's Not All About Winning
I was kind of obsessive about "winning" when I was a kid and in adolescence. Mostly about exams and sometimes about sports. However, it seems now that it's not all about winning. There are downs and ups of life and we should consider ourselves lucky as long as we are in a good shape and nothing catastrophic happens to us or our family.
For more than some years I'm in this state of mind and may as well be called "looser" by some. I also have the same state of mind for tennis. Challenges for a sport like this are obvious and are liked very much by me, too. Getting good, aesthetic and fluid in what I do matters more than winning a match. Don't get me wrong, now. I like winning matches. But I like getting better day by day more.
For me it's about %80 flow-state (loosing myself), %10 having fun and %10 winning.
