What is your Art of Losing?

To anybody who has taken a beating on the street or in a competition, even in the training hall.

What went through your mind? Are you the kind of person who sees your mistakes over and over again? Shrugs and gets on with things or goes into denial about it?

How do you deal with it?

Personally I run through my mistakes again and again but what is your thing?

    I say "Oh well". I sort of use my age as an excuse. I say "I'm 50 and I not the same like when I was 25." I sort of justify it by acknowledging that at least I am still training, and I am in pretty good shape for a 50 year old guy but I am not a young man anymore.
