if someone tries to lose, do they succeed because they tried to lose? or do they lose because they succeeded?

There seem to be so many people who want to succeed at losing now days! And sadly there are many that make it.... If they only could see how good it feels to succeed they would stop trying to lose! It seems to be a very accepted "job" to see how you can "not work" but live!

They succeeding because they tried to lose.Sometimes to lose on purpose is to help another person feel better whom is a sour loser.For example on Save by the bell Screech gave up on being number 1 at school to let Jesse feel like her hard work in school won't go in vain.Only situations like that when losing can be rewarding.

When you're little and your Mom or Dad let's you win, then they succeed because they tried to lose in order to install confidence in their child.
However, if they continue to let the child win then they're all losers because they've created a child that expects to win regardless :)

They only succeed if they ACTUALLY lose. Trying to lose is not the same as losing.

If they try to lose and actually lose then of course they have succeeded. What's funny though is if they try to fail and then not fail they lose. Good question.

They succeed because they WANTED to lose.

Yes, becuase you cannot just "succeed" or "fail" in general, you have to succeed or fail at SOMETHING. So, in this case, you suceed doing whaever your goal was, even if it was the opposite of most people's goals.

You always succeed when you accomplish a goal, regardless of the subject of the goal.
