“So winners, Hae-Joo proposed, are the real losers because they learn nothing? What, then, are losers? Winners?”

“Well, Hae-Joo probed, what did I do to relax? I play Go against my sony, I said."To relax?" he responded, incredulous. "Who wins, you or the sony?"The sony, I answered, or how would I ever improve?So winners, Hae-Joo proposed, are the real losers because they learn nothing? What, then, are losers? Winners?I said, If losers can xploit what their adversaries teach them, yes, losers can become winners in the long term.”

“If losers can exploit what their adversaries teach them, yes, losers can become winners in the long term.”

“—Bueno —tanteó Hae-Joo—, ¿qué haces para relajarte?—Jugar al go con el sony —dije.—¿Para relajarte? —replicó incrédulo—. ¿Y quién gana, tú o el sony?—El sony —respondí—. ¿Cómo si no iba a mejorar?—O sea, que los ganadores —razonó Hae-Joo—, ¿son, en realidad, los perdedores, porque no aprenden nada nuevo? Entonces, ¿qué son los perdedores? ¿Ganadores?Yo no sabía si hablaba en serio.—Si los perdedores consiguen sacar partido de lo que les enseñan sus adversarios, entonces sí, los perdedores, a la larga, pueden ser los ganadores.”

“The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things losers don't want to do.”

“Winners will be losers if they don't support the losers.”

“Everyone is a loser. Winners are just losers with more patience.”
