In Hattrick as in any competition, I believe losing with dignity is as important as winning with grace.Have you ever been conscious of how you react when you lose a Hattrick match? Well, I play Hattrick along with a group of friends staying in the same condominium. And we constantly jeer at the losers among us. In fact we tease each other all the time, about our players, our formations, our tactics and more so when one of us lose an important match or any match which we hold in high regard. I have therefore been pretty conscious of how I react when I lose and I have also taken notice of how my fellow condo mates react when they lose.

I must say that many of us are like Lee Chong Wei. We blame everything but ourselves. While Lee Chong Wei blames his coaches, the umpire, the line judges and the wind, we normally blame our players injuries, our players forms, the HT-Gods, etc. Is it ever our fault?

We should learn from Nicol David. Whenever we lose, would it not be better for us to analyse the game which we lost rather than give excuses? We should learn from our mistakes, re-double our efforts and hammer our opponent to kingdom come the next time we meet him or her.

So are you a Lee Chong Wei or are you a Nicol David? Which would you rather be?
