These loser quotes prove winning and losing are parts of the same experience.

What does being a loser mean to you?

Well, it depends on what you perceive to be your competition. 

In a mechanical sense, competition breeds a winner and a loser. 

From this perspective, the title of “winner” and “loser” transform considerably.

The competitor who loses still holds the honor of competing at the highest level.

Some would argue that being a loser is less about your level of performance and more about your state of mind. 

You could never lose if you give your all in your efforts.

However, it is possible to engage a mindset where we believe we are losers and allow it to manifest in our experience. 

It is possible to lose the competition and keep our dignity.

A true competitor can win gracefully and lose gracefully. 

There is no built-in shame in the definition of losing.
