Loser talk?

Wouldn’t I like to live there. Of course, though, it’s not really what one calls something but what the law defines it to be. In any case, does it really not matter whether you win or lose?
Because I do not like to lose. But I feel that friends are too nice not to let me have my way a lot of the time (though it’s not like choosing where to eat is a battle, or a contest, or involves logic and legal argumentation: Please can we just have fried squid at Mannang’s?). So my “victories” are rather hollow. Or if I do lose at something, well, it’s never my fault. How could I lose?
Anyway, losing isn’t so bad. Michelle Kwan said, “I didn’t lose the gold; I won the silver.” Unless, of course, you ended up fourth, or fifth; in which case, you didn’t even win the bronze. Oh regardless. Regardless. It’s the knowing-in-your-heart-that-you-gave-it- all-you-could-under-the-circumstances that does matter in the end. Or is it the “Do what you love and the money will follow”?
