LaNce’s Short Series – The Mindset
Losing = Winning??
Introduction
Feel frustrated? Feel like giving up or simply pissed because you lost that game of DotA. Read this Article and hopefully, this mindset will be changed for the better; I will prove to you that Losing = Winning.
Prologue
Whatever you do, whatever you say, whatever you decide, it all comes from what you think in your brain first. With the wrong mindset and the adverse environment, it’s not surprising if you make a hasty and wrong decision/action.
Thus, the Right Mindset is Extremely Important in Whatever we Do.
By instilling the right Mindset and the correct way of thinking, decision and actions seems to be under your control, and you will definitely not do things that you will regret later.
In relation to DotA
Things that you will regret after doing, will be things like quarrelling with your friends or teammates due to a mistake and causing a loss. After that quarrel or argument, you might find yourself losing a good friend or someone you are on friendly terms with before. But at what cost? DotA? Just because of that moment of frustration, you let it get over you and in the process, you could have lost a good friend.
The Correct Mindset
A correct mindset would allow you to do things more calmly and sensible. I know that losing sucks in a game like DotA, Winning is Everything. But what if, no matter you win or lose, ultimately, you are winning. When you win, you feel good and happy, you feel more confident etc, and most probably, you will fail to see the mistakes you have made in the game due to the win. Vice versa, its losing that we truly get to identify and pin point the mistakes made.
Failure is Success when we Learn from it.
It is in Losing where you gain more experience than compared to Winning. Thus, Losing does equal to Winning.
In Conclusion
Instead of getting all worked up and start pointing your finger and blaming your friends/teammates. Why not reflect on yourself, and truly understand the reason for the correct mindset.
Hopefully, Losing = Winning mindset will pave your way for making the correct actions and reach greater heights.
Epilogue
A low risk conventional win? Or a high risk unconventional win? You decide. Next article, The guide to No guide.
