For some people and in some situations, it is difficult to pick up the pieces after a loss or after hearing no time and time again. Losing should motivate and provide the drive to win (at the same thing/same area or in a different area).

Song lesson:
From 'Push It To The Limit' by Corbin Bleu:

Work, work it harder
Gotta take it further
No holding back
You know we gotta do it right now
Be even better

Winning could be getting a new job or graduating on time. One thing is for sure....

"A quitter never wins and a winner never quits."
- Napoleon Hill

"Where there is a will there is a way."
- Proverb

"The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win."
-Roger Bannister

Winning requires effort. In a competitive environment, a person's motivation could provide the edge - the drive to push it to the limit.

Song lesson: 'Lose To Win' by Fantasia Barrino

"Sometimes you gotta lose to win again."

"Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret if winning."
- Denis Waitley

"To win you need to have first lost. That makes you so hungry to win that you'll do everything you can to achieve it."
- Brendon Clark

Michael Jordan: I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times,  I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Losing is not a waste. Sometimes a person must lose to win. Losing can lead to a string of wins and achievements.

"Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday."
- Wilma Rudolph

Song lesson:

From 'Exhale' by Whitney Houston:

Sometimes you'll laugh
Sometimes you'll cry
Life never tells us
The when's or why's

Saying: Life is full of ups and downs.

"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference."
- Tommy Lasorda

"You win some, you lose some, you wreck some."
- Dale Earnhardt

No one wins all the time and at everything.

"Winning may not be everything, but losing has little to recommend it."
- Dianne Feinstein, Nine and Counting: The Women of the Senate  

EVERYONE wants to win. Everyone loves a winner.

Song 'We Are The Champions' by Queen:

"Fundamental rule of life, is to know what you deserve in life and getting what you deserve. That's winning always."
- Jubin Jomon

"Life is a game, you can't afford to lose."
- Tracy Bleers
