Sometimes You Win—Sometimes You Learn

# 1 *New York Times* bestselling author John C. Maxwell believes that any setback, whether professional or personal, can be turned into a step forward when you possess the right tools to turn a loss into a gain. Drawing on nearly fifty years of leadership experience, Dr. Maxwell provides a roadmap for winning by examining the eleven elements that constitute the DNA of learners who succeed in the face of problems, failure, and losses.

1\. Humility - The Spirit of Learning

2\. Reality - The Foundation of Learning

3\. Responsibility - The First Step of Learning

4\. Improvement - The Focus of Learning

5\. Hope - The Motivation of Learning

6\. Teachability - The Pathway of Learning

7\. Adversity - The Catalyst of Learning

8\. Problems - The Opportunities of Learning

9\. Bad Experiences - The Perspective for Learning

10\. Change - The Price of Learning

11\. Maturity - The Value of Learning

Learning is not easy during down times, it takes discipline to do the right thing when something goes wrong. As John Maxwell often points out--experience isn't the best teacher; evaluated experience is.
