Guaranteed, you will lose.
Sometimes it will be a close loss (almost finished to the demo and then a pesky little pixel disrupted the whole thing).
Sometimes it will be an epic shutdown on the launch pad that will pull down everything.
Other times it might be trying to push things a bit too far and you destroy it all.
It’s all a loss – it doesn’t matter whether it’s close or far away – it’s a loss.
You won’t always lose, but you will lose.
Now, is it worth it to complain about how much you lost by or figuring out what to do next?
Focus on the next OR keep griping about the loss.
One moves you forward.
