It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.
One of my life quotes when things are hard.

And sometimes we must seek alternative pathways to success, and recognize them as such. Data stopped trying to play to win and found success in playing to not lose. He rejected the stated objective in favor of his own goals, and in turn was rewarded with new perspectives and greater understanding.
Sometimes the stated objectives can confine us to narrow thinking and obscure other possibilities. One man's draw is sometimes another man's victory. It is all a matter of perspective.
