Defeat.

Defeat is not always a sign of weakness. After the defeat will determine how strong you are. Being defeated gives you the opportunity to shine when you encounter a similar situation. But sometimes you can't learn anything and are forced to accept being defeated. In terms of basketball learning your mistakes is key. Learning can help you grow as a basketball player by becoming a smarter and savy player. But becoming a smarter and savy player doesn't make your team that way. The team would need to go through the same reflection process for understanding and learning on why they got defeated.
I've played for many basketball league teams and no one seems to learn anything. Teams rely on their "skills" which falter at the end rather than playing smart basketball. Hopefully the team I am on now will take a different approach in our next game as we soak in our loss today.

Who Wants it?

Every Man's dream is to become successful. The thought of not becoming successful tends to deliver a choking feeling around your neck. Success is what we thrive and live for. Nobody wants to achieve anything less. But the meaning of success continues to vary. There has to be a type of denominator that determines what success is. Some consider success a monetary possession. Others say it's based on how you feel about what you've done and accomplished over the years. There is not a concrete definition on what success means. We would have to muster a meaning for success on our own terms.

On a lighter note, let's endorse Drake's and Trey Songz's definition.
