btw, remember how it was told you "it doesn't whether you win or lose; it's how you play the game?"

or was it "it doesn't matter whether you win or lose; it's whether you have fun?"

i consider that mentality rubbish...

because it does not force you to play hard...

or for that instance... to play correctly...

i understand that when we were kids, that was drilled into our heads to keep us from becoming sore losers... to keep us from psychologically breaking down after every close loss...

and that's important. game is STILL a game.

but i guarentee you will get more out of whatever games you play when play with a disciplined mindset like you want it.

just don't kick yourself *too much* over the head for every blowout, loss, and close loss...

learn from your mistakes, practice, practice, and come back and take some more...

until you can win...
