FIFA World Cup
We were having a family discussion over entrepreneurship, and my brother said "you never hear the stories of all the 95% who failed" and I thought "so that's why we keep dreaming about winning all the time." but the truth is more than what you can change by simply get used to losing or failing...think about the world-cup and all that winning and losing. Some very good and qualified teams make it to the very last rounds but lose in the end. The reasons are always a very wide range of stuff, and many of them actually contribute to the loser's dark fate. Like a key player missing the game for being double-carded or injured or Goalie's broken up with the Girl Friend the night before the game, and the girl friend is actually behind the net teasing him up or something, or the Referee keeps missing moments of the game in favor of the opponent. In the end though...after the games are done only one thing matters...no body cares if Messi is crying in the change rooms, or if Zeidan's got red-carded b.c. his sister was called things. Nobody will ever remember that Torres dived in the game against Chile and that the Chilean guy was red carded instead! Only one thing will remain in the end...and that's who won the game...it's very true what Churchill said..."History is written by the victors" and the loser is doomed to forgetfulness of the observers no matter how noble, how talented, and how well-deserved to win they were.

Dear Siavash
I searched and found that maybe someone else said this.

Thanks for your comments. I don't remember where I read that the quote is by Mr. Motahari. and though it makes more sense if the quote is coming from someone who was in the wars yet still I can't rely on Forums as a source ;). Do you have anything more credible?
Sorry
I couldn't find.
