Most every time I go to a casino The casino here offers curbside service. Just pull up out front and they'll come out and take your money.

There's a loser in every contest. Depending on the contest, there's really only one winner, most times there are a LOT of losers in each contest.

As long as you learn from losing, yes. This sounds almost like losing is okay when something greater than losing can be achieved? I wonder if that is taught anywhere today.

I have done a lot of losing in my lifetime but gained a lot of knowledge and life lessons by doing so. Losing can teach one self-discipline and humility.

One learns more from their failures than from their successes.

I have lost many times playing games with my kids. I have even lost a few arguments with my wife. I also loose a little sanity each day I go to work. I don't go to the casino so I don't loose there.

Depending on the situation. I mean reality is some one has to lose and your not going to win 100 percent of the time. How ever it depends on how you lose. If you give it everything you got and whoever or whatever team just beats you because they are better, no shame in that. However people these days and age are ok with losing and don't put effort into anything because even if you lose there is still hand out, rewards and someone there to pick you up. That goes with life these days people lose at that everyday. They don't know respect, hard work, how to get things on their own, or how to achieve Goals because you failed. What happens when you come from a generation of everyone's a winner.
Had a boss tell me once failure is ok if a lesson is learnt from it. However people's lessons are how to get things handed to them when they do fail most of the time this day and age and it's sad. I disagree. People today are not okay with losing because they see no value in it. They miss the lesson part that would make them better. They value themselves so little when they are beaten/lose, they lose their minds right along with whatever competition they were in.
