Look at it like sports: Even the best players lose. Sometimes the lesser team wins. Victory goes to whoever works the hardest for it and wants it the most.

But say I put you on a team where no one speaks and no one listens. Can you win? Do you truly expect to win? More importantly, if and when you lose would you even know why? Would you be okay with losing and not knowing why?
