About this Quote

This quote by Eric Berne talks to the distinction in between a winner and a loser. A loser is somebody who is not positive in their capabilities and is not prepared for failure. They discuss what they will do if they win, but do not have a prepare for what to do if they lose. On the other hand, a winner is somebody who is confident in their capabilities and is gotten ready for failure. They do not speak about what they will do if they win, but instead focus on what they will do if they lose. This quote is a reminder that it is important to be gotten ready for failure and to have a prepare for how to handle it. It is also a pointer that confidence is essential to success, which discussing success is not as crucial as in fact accomplishing it.
