One intends to run the car into the wall and doesn’t run the car into the wall. This is a failure.

Thus we can see that running the car into the wall, or not running the car into the wall, do not themselves establish, except by public agreement as to the conditions of failure, an actual failure. The failure derives from failing to do what one intended to do. When one does what one intends to do, one has a win. When one intends to do one thing and accomplishes something else, one has a lose.

A person is stuck in “wins” only when he intended to lose, and won. For example: A runner never expected to win. He was simply part of the field most of his career and then spectacularly, and almost by accident, he won. It is certain that he will be stuck in that win. Therefore, the only wins that a person gets stuck in are those which were not intentional.
