I’m taking that proverb as “rationalists should win everything at everything everywhere all the time forever” lest I risk redefining success and deluding myself. Real life’s lack of predefined win conditions is actually a bad thing.
“If at first you don’t succeed, redefine success.” goes the demotivator. The life’s lack of preset win conditions allows you to define your current state as a win. That leads to complacency and boredom. Bad, bad, bad!
So one should set his win condition as high as possible, so the journey has maximum amount of experience and fun.
