When I talk about "losing to win," I’m not just saying that we need to make mistakes in order to succeed. Rather, I want to highlight that the value of our achievements becomes greater when we’ve faced challenges and difficulties along the way.

It’s a bit like appreciating a sunny day more after a week of relentless rain.
This concept teaches us that the sweetest victories are those that come after navigating through complex situations, not the ones obtained effortlessly. It’s like finally solving a complicated puzzle after hours of trying: the sense of satisfaction is immense precisely because you had to work hard to get there.
In this sense, "winning" doesn’t simply mean getting what you want, but deeply appreciating the result because of the obstacles you’ve overcome to reach it. The challenges and limitations along the way teach us to be creative, resilient, and passionate. And when we finally reach our goal, the success tastes much richer... unique.
It’s not about avoiding defeat at all costs, but about embracing the journey, with all its ups and downs, to fully appreciate the meaning of a hard-earned victory.
Because perhaps, the most important victory of our life might come at the cost of a thousand defeats.
