source The official loser develops an unmistakable attitude
Official loser.
In the community of Silver House, the morning dawned with a little more than usual bustle, posters on poles, young schoolgirls handing out flyers and a blaring sound system indicated that some kind of event was coming up.
At the bus stop, two friends were on their way to the city, they greeted each other and commented:
- Andres did you notice the signs, there is going to be an election for the neighborhood association?
- Bruce, I heard some noise but I was concentrating on reading the press and checking my social networks .... I did not pay attention...
- Well I tell you that this afternoon when I get back I'm going to register to be president of the association....
- Gee, my dear Bruce, you are going to run again, you never get tired of losing... this would be your ninth campaign.
- Andres I have not lost, I have come in second and third, now I am going to win....
- I don't think you have understood the message of the neighbors.... I'm going, I'm coming, my group is here, see you...
Over the years, neurosciences have been establishing new categories of human behavior, for example, the existence of toxic people has been established. It has continued to evolve in the definition of new behavior and one of them is “The official loser”.
In recent years it is common to find people who seem to have no luck, or that their efforts to achieve a goal are deflating like a balloon as the time of the definition approaches. We can also see this behavior in sports teams, for example in the NFL there are teams that finish the season with a great winning streak but when they go to the Play offs they lose catastrophically and then go out to give thousands of justifications.
It is important to review our behavior to avoid becoming official losers.
