The primary purpose of playing isn’t to win. It’s to have fun. When you’re having fun, you stand the best chance of winning.

If you’re overly concerned about losing, on the other hand, you’ll stop having fun. You’ll be more likely to lose as a result.

Even if you do win, it won’t be elation you feel but relief. The win will feel empty because you didn’t have any fun.

However, if you have fun but don’t win, you’re much more likely to play again. The fond memories and valuable lessons will make you want to have another go.

This dramatically increases your chances of winning over the long haul.

Even if you don’t ultimately win it’s worth asking, if you had fun did you really lose?
