"Any team that loses on a bad call made another mistake that could have won the game." Well put.<BR/><BR/>When i wrote about Third degree losing, i had a specific moment in mind in which those in authority let their team down with ..less than wise decision making, shall we say. The boys could play their hearts out and still lose because they weren't really given the opportunity to win, they were held back, not just one bad call, but a series of bad calls, so to speak. And being held back is a situation that resonated with my life in general. <BR/><BR/>From there i sort of round about voorlooped into the territory of never letting your kids lose. Not a straight line but then i tend to amble about aimless at odd times. It probably would have made more sense to rant about being held back in life, huh? Oh well, opportunity for a new post someday!scruffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04127548900155916268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36872658.post-77876639587267195742008-06-06T17:16:00.000-07:002008-06-06T17:16:00.000-07:00Oops posted this on wrong one.. here it is again.....Oops posted this on wrong one.. here it is again..<BR/><BR/>Loved your rabbit hole but take issue with "Third degree losing"...<BR/><BR/>Learning from Third degree is what can make us great. It is the essence of "it is not weather you win or lose it is how you played the game" That has morphed into not having winners and losers... that is wrong. It means that if you are doing what is right and lose that is ok (hey jesus would likes that too). It also means if you do it right and lose you still can look at how you can do it better... how can you keep from being "cheated" next time. Always find the lesson, always find the way to improve and you can NEVER be cheated fully. Any team that loses on a bad call made another mistake that could have won the game. The best teams focus on correcting the mistakes not focusing on the bad call... wisdom to understand what one can and cannot control and focusing on what you can control sounds like a good prayer...
