on losing

Well this begins with a simple question --Does like winning losing can be a habit? ...ah not for all, but at least for some weaklings who haven't tasted victory for quite a long, or are these things just crap and all of these is just a mind game, or this question is raised by some pessimist who does not want to see the brighter side of life and keeps whining about his losses.
Well what is the quality of a winner that sets him apart or rather a loser that sets 'him' apart, by winner or by loser here I mean one who has earned quite a reputation for his "name" and the world is filled with large no. of people who are in between closer to one or the other. What most people believe is that all this comes from mind i.e. the mentality of the person or better say for a particular ordeal mental preparedness and confidence matters.
Then another question arises what makes a man mentally tough than others ?is it in genes ? or simply experience and training? what is the best way to develop self belief ?Or can we say a person who gets all comforts physical or mental easily does not make a tough person?
well these things are alright but the biggest question is
How can a loser restart as a winner change his course of life ??
Inviting answers !!

It has been rightly said
"You haven't really lost unless you give up trying."

As far as mental strength is concerned, I don't know whether there is some biological reason. But certainly, falls make you more tough. Just as once infected by a bacteria, your body develops immunity, similarly each thud on the ground makes you tougher.

Lastly, there's no harm in falling. You just have to learn to stand up everytime.

Too heavy words! ;)

My belief is
"Every Man makes mistakes, only Fools repeat them".
and Try, try and try again until you get succeed.

Very easy to say but very difficult to implement but still the key to success in this ruthless life.

Psychologists and philosophers may have their own theories but i'll quote you what Saurav Ganguly said when he made a brilliant comeback in the team after 8 months. He was not only ridiculed but questions on his integrity, mental and physical abilities were also posed.
He said, "It was really hard to believe what had happened. I begin to loose faith in all mortals and immortals. Had it been over a year i would also have accepted myself as what they were portraying me. But what kept me afloat was my belief that your Will should be stronger than your Skill and it just takes an afternoon to be a winner. Its all about displaying your talent at the right time and the right spot"
