THE
GREATEST CHAMPIONS REACT TO DEFEAT IN A POSITIVE WAY
LEARNING
FROM FAILURE
There are times
when the ability to learn from failure is a great tactic. Olympic
decathalon champion Rafer Johnson develops the point: "The most enjoyment I
had in the past was not always winning: What gave me the biggest thrill was the
way I reacted when I was beaten--what I thought about and how I came back from
defeat. To my mind, the geat champions are the ones who are able to react
to defeat in a positive way. I'd much rather climb into the head of
someone who's lost and see what made that person come back to be a victor, than
climb into the head of a winner. You can probably learn more from the
failures rather than the successes of others. That somebody wins all the
time does not necessarily mean they are successful."
