MP4 #1 Losing: our constant companion

I actually find this article quite interesting.  It's not every day that you can give losing and winning a different connotation, in essence the opposite meanings of one another.  I agree with the author's belief that there can always be a lesson learned in losing, and winning isn't always beneficial to a person.  One can benefit from losing in various ways: by learning from past mistakes, teaching others the skills to actually win, or even taking a tough hit to the heart in order to appreciate the times of victory.  This article can be applied to the play, Death of a Salesman, by relating it to Willy's past success and many losses.  When he first started his family, Willy was used to the idea of happily living the high life, however once he lost his "touch" in the world of selling, Willy also lost the money and happiness.  He did not take this too well, causing him to lose his job, his money, and his piece of mind.  In this case, losing was not much of a benefit for the Loman family.
