“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.”

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

“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.”

“This is a war universe. War all the time. That is its nature. There may be other universes based on all sorts of other principles, but ours seems to be based on war and games. All games are basically hostile. Winners and losers. We see them all around us: the winners and the losers. The losers can oftentimes become winners, and the winners can very easily become losers. ”

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

“Winners win losers make excuses.”
