I would think would be impossible (to lose ALL of the time. Even Charlie Brown won a few...lol!)

Have goals and be willing to *work* for them. If Billy struck out at the plate... yeah, it's OK... but what did he learn from it? Will he be a better batter next time? Accept that fact that he flunked a class, but don't accept the behavior/attitude/plan/events that led to him flunking. Find out *why* it's happening, and find a plan to fix the problem.
That's what I was saying in my last post. I guess I just worded it in a different way, or it didn't come across the way that I wanted it to.
