The words winner and loser have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean one who beats the other guy by winning over him and making him lose. To us, a winner is one who responds authentically by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, and genuine, both as an individual and as a member of society. A loser is one who fails to respond authentically. Few people are one hundered percent winners or one hundred percent losers. It's a matter of degree. However, once a person is on the road to being a winner, his chances are greater for becoming even more so. What's your opinion on winner or loser?

hi free breathing as for me loser are plainly those people that quits. idotn consider people who cannot respond to a bidding or work authentically or accurately so long as the person doesnt quit at all and for the winners, they are people who always do there best amidst trials and difficulties and always smile and accept whole heartedly things they cannot do or attain.these are real champions and of course, winners in every aspect of their life.

This an out of question , who's the winner and who's the loser , if we speak about 2 theories it does mean both have a percentage of truth while WINNER = STRONGER is a 100% wrong theory , if so we'll relive OLD ROME ERA , the WORLD DOMINATION = WINNING and that means more blood to shed , more people to suffer , more and more worse thing would happend , but your first statment is totally true and I'm AGREE with you 300% :)

Hello freebreathing. For me, being a winner or looser means being able to get something out of that which made him a winner or looser. Like in a sports game, we can say that the winner takes the prize and the trophy. What we call 'the looser' in that game is the one who is second-place score-wise. However, that looser can turn out to be a winner after all if what he earned from that event is more knowledge about the game and firmer determination to perfect his skills in that game so that the next time he plays, he'll become the first-place winner. So, for me, winning or loosing means how you take things that happen to you. If you take it negatively, then you're a looser. If you take it positively, even if others see you as the looser, then you're the winner. A person being winner or looser is not for others to decide. It depends on the person himself/herself. :)

I think that life is not a game where we can have one side winner and the other side loser. It is our own point of view that we want to win by defeating someone. Or sometimes when we lose, we feel that our oppponent has won. But in rality the opponent may also not be entirely happy with the result and so to some extent he or she is also a loser. So I believe that we must try to create a situation in real life in which nobody is losser but everybody gains something. So all will be winners...

I think it depends on the contest of the words. If you are just saying Joe was the winner of the contest, that's is exactly what he was. But when people call others losers or winners, it means much more. I think there are no REAL losers or winers in this world. Everyone stumbles and everyone falls at one time or another. I can name a few people who I consider losers because they had it all and just ruined their own lives by being stupid and selfish. But they could change tomorrow and be on the path to being winners again. I think a winner is one who stumbles but gets back up and keeps going. One who doesn't quit or feel sorry for themselves and who does what has to be done without complaint. A winner, to me, isn't someone who is rich and famous. It's someone who who has goals and works hard to achieve them whether they are small or big. A loser to me is one who, despite every chance and opportunity, refuses to get help for themselves and continues to go downhill. Still, they have a chance to turn around be a winner but just trying. Being a winner means being happy in your skin and happy in your life and achieving or trying to achieve your goals.
