last night i was knocked down by a clean right in the second round. i got back up on my feet but thats as far as i got. i cant remember anything that happened the 30secs beforehand nor the 30mins afterwards. of course a win would have been awesome but i am proud of myself regardless. when you win, you dont examine it very much, except to congratulate yourself. you easily, and wrongly, assume it has something to do with your rare super human powers. but winning only measures how hard youve worked and how physically talented you are; it doesnt particularly define you beyond those characteristics. losing on the other hand, really does say something about who you are. it makes you check yourself. do you blame others, or do you own the loss? by examining failure, and looking not just at your outward physical performance, but your internal workings, too, losing can be valuable. sometimes losing shows you for who you really are.
