There are times when you are going to lose on a trade and times when you are going lose in life. The market may be going into a bear decline, but you haven't yet adjusted. Perhaps someone plays better than you in a sporting event or in some competition on a particular day. The key is to lose playing your best... because all you control is you. All you can do is be the best you can be. But here's the problem that most people create; they think they are less than they really are. So they only play up to a point they think is their best, but it's really nowhere near their true potential.
