Never Admit Defeat

Here’s another Chinese folk story about a person who never admits to losing. While we recognize that this is sometimes an irritating trait, it could also be a trait that is vital to an entrepreneur’s success.
There was once a person who loved to play chess, and keeps asking people to play with him. However, people did not like to play with him because he never admits defeat.
One day, they decided they would teach him a lesson. So they assemble a huge crowd and an excellent chess player, and challenge him to a 3 set match — with the condition that he has to report the exact results to everybody.
The result was as they expected- he lost all three matches. With huge anticipation, the crowd gathered to wait for him to announce the results — expecting him to finally admit losing.
He went up the stage, and proudly announce, ” Ladies and Gentlemen, I played 3 games in total against a most worthy opponent, and here are the results — The first game, I did not win, The Second game, he did not lose, and as for the third game — I proposed a draw but he did not accept.”

His perspective on the world is different. Or it could be said that he turned a disadvantage into the best he could.

Filipino version of the same folk story:
— The first game, I was cheated, The Second game, he did cheat me again, and as for the third game — I proposed a draw but the judges went into hiding.
