You have learnt something. That always feels at first as if you had lost something.

Sometimes, you have to almost lose something before you really appreciate what you have.

Sometimes it feels like you’re losing, but even when you’re losing, you’re getting something.

For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.

Like a word on a page that you’ve printed and read a million times, that suddenly looks strange or wrong, foreign. And you feel scared for a second, like you’ve lost something, even if you’re not sure what it is.

Losing is a learning experience. It teaches you humility. It teaches you to work harder. It’s also a powerful motivator.

When you lose, you really feel a sense of self … You actually feel that you are being taken apart, rather than just your pieces.

When you think that you’ve lost everything, you find out you can always lose a little more.

If you want to win you must first know what losing feels like.

When you think that you lost everything you find out you can always lose a little more.

Learn as if you were not reaching your goal and as though you were scared of missing it

Meistens belehrt uns erst der Verlust über den Wert der Dinge.

You always lose, until you learn, then you win.

All that I have lost I find at every step and remember that I have lost it.
