That stigma is one of failure where business associates distance themselves, loved ones may say "I told you so", and a pool full of friends seem to dry up into a desert with barely a friendly oasis. Too much emphasis is placed on winning. This is especially true when we see in mainstream media the concept of "failure is not an option" and it is important to "win at all costs" being preached everywhere we look.
