Winning is not everything. Butt losing sucks.

Sometimes even if you win, you lose...

Reminds me of the absolute law of compensation.

"For everything you gain, you lose something.
And for everything you lose, you gain something."

(Once; when I pondered "IF"; I was losing my mind; I wondered, what in hell I would gain?)

Editor's Note: Good point (re the parenthesis).
