In sport, a team’s win / loss ratio shows successful they’ve been that season. A number >1 is a “winning” season—where more games are won than lost.
I love a good sporting analogy and how they can help us think about other parts of our lives, but this one—in my opinion—isn’t a good one.
In sport, a loss is a loss.
In life, a loss is only a loss if we don’t learn from it.
