Losing a bet can be a good thing. If I would have won, my priorities would be different. In sixth grade my gym teacher made me a bet. If I lost I had to try out for the basketball team. If I won, I didn’t have to. He was the girls coach and saw a future for me. Once I understood the game, I got hooked. I have not regretted making the bet since.
