So, not to pile on poor Hillary who I'm feeling some genuine sympathy for because losing sucks. But! She is a sight to behold and has managed to devise a strategy for NEVER LOSING even when you've lost. So I started thinking about it and this approach can be adopted to many a scenario in life.
OK, so here's how she DIDN'T LOSE the nomination even though, she lost: Everyone declared Obama the winner - delegates and stuff, national newspapers — and she took the stage and said she wasn't making a decision yet. You see? She just refused to lose. I LOVE this. A few situations, you might applly this approach to:
1. Your boyfriend calls to say that he wants to break up. *WHAT WOULD HILLARY DO?* You tell him that's sweet and you'll see him tomorrow. When you show up at his place the next day, you let him know that unfortunately, while this has been fun, you're going to need some space and want to see other people.
2. Your boss calls you into her office and informs you they are laying you off. *WHAT WOULD HILLARY DO?* You head back to your desk and create a meeting maker with said boss for the end of the day. When it's time for the meeting, you enter her office and let her know you are resigning due to personal reasons effective immediately.
Amazing right?
